All You Need is Love #Journal Page

I love the creative process. It's so interesting to see what will happen when art supplies and creation get to work. 

This started out as a textured journal page. I had applied some left over texture casting fro a project to a journal page , knowing eventually I would create something.

Here you can see the texture on the page and my next step was to add some watercolor and some purple oil pastel along the border creating a vignette.

Next, I added some spray ink. Spray the ink onto the page and then spritz the page with some water. This gets the ink moving and you can hold the journal up and let the ink flow and drip down the page. Make sure the spray ink, like Dylusions , is a water soluble ink so it will react when you spray the water.

I cut a heart shape from a small cardboard box and decoupaged this blue paper to the heart. The blue paper is actually a baby wipe that I used in my project. When you allow the wipe to dry with all the inks and paint you have created another art supply. These wipes can be used as you would paper. I have a little pile of flowers I have made with these wipes.

Here's how I used an embossed scrapbook paper to add a message to the page. I simply cut out the message, added some color and some black pencil around the letters.

Before I adhered the heart,  I added bits of string and grosgrain ribbon to help add some depth to where I planned to place the heart. The string was tinted using spray ink. Of course, you'll need to let the string dry before you hot glue it to the page.

All You Need Is Love 

I created this page when my heart was heavy and looking at it reminds me to love, not judge, not to judge the process of life and to flow "Go with the Flow", yeah that 's real, and of course to trust that love will win, ALWAYS. 

With love and gratitude,

Michele
