If you're new to Art Journal Every Day, all the posts can be found here. Please read this post first. There is a flickr group for sharing right here. Remember, it's just ten minutes of nourishing your creative self every day! No need to finish anything or even like it. Just play! Linky list for October is right here.
One of the first things that I did when I got the prototypes of the stencils I designed for The Crafter's Workshop was to test drive them by creating tons of gorgeous collage papers!
Not only did this give me a chance to play with the stencils and experiment with how they worked/looked, but I've been using this collage paper in lots of projects for the past several months including my art journal. Here's a spread that originally started as "just a background."
But the more I look at it, the more I'm thinking that it's already complete.
Creating collage papers outside of your journal is a wonderful low stress way to experiment. There's no pressure to get it "right" or make something "perfect." And they make creating a journal page so darn easy. Just rip and adhere and you've got lots of color and pattern!
Thanks for stopping by!
