art journal {palette page}

the background of this page had been used as a palette (you can almost feel that big blob of yellow paint- can't you?! i should have used more paint...haha) and used to dab off stencils i was using with the gelli plate. loved the colors that i had used on other projects.

decided i would try to pull this page together with the use of stencils and spray ink and my new oil pastels.....thus the light blue scribble.

kinda liking this "palette" page now.....happy wednesday.

have you checked out Roben-Marie's new art pops mini tabs?.....i had grabbed 2 different types because i love being able to put a tab on almost anything. the colors are as always amazing!! and she always uses wonderful paper- good weight and has a non-glossy finish so if you want to add something to the tabs- drawing, drips, dribbles,.....it is easy to do. i added the gold drips.

i used collage paper with washi tape on the background and followed up with dylusions' spray ink- spritz with water to run a bit.

i also did some small doodle with a pencil and always love adding the gold ink.

and of course, the tab....glued on, but, i liked the look of the staples.

the pink scribbles running through the middle are my new oil pastels. i managed to grab those at Walmart- if you want to try them- this is a relatively inexpensive chance. mine were $4.

happy monday.
