This is my first journal page. I racked my brain trying to figure out what mixed media truly is. As my husband is an artist he kept saying it was a mix of mediums. I then went to youtube and looked there at paper crafts mixed media and wow did I come away with a different thought of what mixed media is in the paper world. It even encouraged me to start a journal. So I created my first journal page. I drew everything. I am so looking forward to my shipment of stamps and stencils from Stamplorations so that as the month progresses hopefully so will my work. :) I did happen to have one stencil from a floral stamp set. Which I used. How I used this stencil was to apply acrylic paint very thickly through the stencil. I do like how this turned out but am looking forward to improving and what better way than using a journal tosee the progress. I decided to make my own book by creating pages and adding them to a book folder which I made.
Love your journal page. Welcome to the mixed media journey. I think a journal is a wonderful way to explore new medium and techniques. I love how the color on your page makes it look like the ocean coming up onto the sand. Thanks for joining along with the STAMPlorations mixed media challenge.
