Creativity is good for the soul


A page for

and Erika's theme of New Year, New Adventures.
For me every page is an adventure, I maybe know what I will be using  as my main focus,  the rest just happens, as I get hands busy  and go with the flow.

My starting point was  a page from one of my [Stampington] colouring books.

  I did spend quite a while colouring this page and tried to get a reasonable photo over a few days, each one turned out quite pale, this was the best version.
However I am happy to say it was a good bright day when I took the the next stage  photos, she looked  a better colour.


There was a lot of fussy cutting done to get round this piece and you may notice that some of her hair  details  have gone missing in the cutting.



The journal page background is a Stencil still lurking on my desk from creating next weeks diary page which I shared in my previous post.
The colours I used at this stage are oxide inks,a stamp for the  Creativity quote. The other words were computer generated





Thank you for calling in today, your visited is always  appreciated.

    OH WOW, Yvonne. The colors you chose and the way you stayed within the lines (something I can't seem to do) made this a fabulous beginning to an excellent page for Erika's theme at AJJ. The quote is wonderful, and the way you brought everything together with seemingly such ease, makes this a genuine beauty. Thanks for sharing it and supporting Art Journal Journey.

    Well this is quite a lot of fun! I love that you used a coloring book page. May I ask what you used to color it with? What type of marker? Or it watercolor?? Whatever it is - it's so nicely done. Great page.

      I tend to use a mixture of pens and pencils to colour in, this one was mainly Spectrum Noir Aqua Blend Pencils and Illustrator pens.
      My choice of pens etc depends on the type of paper in the colouring books, I test in a corner where I know I won't be using.

    Such fabulous uplifting colours - she must have been great fun to colour. I love the layered stencilling in her flowery bower - she looks very at home.
