Learn To Love

Hello, Friends!
Here we are - another special Monday to share some amazing work by my Creative Team.
Today we meet with Marta whose passion for art journaling is truly contagious.
I'm more than certain you'll feel inspired by her new journal spread - accompanied by a video tutorial so don't hesitate and create some beautiful pages, too!


Hello my darlings!
For those who know me, this is no surprise to see another art journal spread from me.
My love for mixed media journals is growing. I enjoy playing with backgrounds, creating textures and adding colours.
This work is exactly about that. I think it is a great project for begginers, it shows all the basic techniques with a twist. :)
One of the funny and unexpected art ingridients in this project were tea bags. Yes, tea bags. :)
You can see on the video how I incorporated the tea bags in my project.


I created my pages in one of my plain notebooks. I started with covering it with Heavy White Gesso. Then I added some papers and tea bags. :) You can see on the photo how the tea bags elements are peaking through.

When you are creating your background you can use anything you want - washi tapes, plasters, paper, old books, wall papers and so on. You don't always need fancy art products to achieve interesting and original effects.


I added some Modeling Paste and Light Paste through 'Honeycomb' stencil.
I played with lots of Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays to create the colourful backround.
Additionally, I added some stickers and a tissue butterfly.


And here's the video so that you can follow the whole process:



If you have any questions, I'll be happy to help.
I hope you will enjoy my journaling journey and I hope to get you inspired !
Happy creating.
Love, Marta xx

    Pretty!!! Why use both modeling paste and light paste? Is it just for the difference in texture?

    Modeling paste is more transparent after drying than light paste. You can achieve different texture and visibility. If you mix them together you never know the final effect, especilly when you start using colours on top of them. Mixing different mediums can bring unexpected results which could lead to a wonderful effects. I hope that is helpful. xx

    Lovely page Marta! I wonder why you used both types of Gesso on the page? As the paper is white I wouldn't expect a lot of difference between the two.

    My page originally is yellowish... I used white gesso to achieve white colour, I used the transparent to still keep the original colour of the yellow page :) hope that make sense, hugs, Marta x

    Beautiful as always. If I need inspiration , I just need to watch one your tutorials. I find dried out tea bags are also great for stamping on and adding to layouts.
