Music...

Hi everyone!
I am part of the Design Team at Art Journal Every Day in the Smeared and Smudged Ning Group.

This page is inspired by the second prompt posted in the group: Music Notes.
The image is called Ballerina from the Toxic Ballerina Digital set from Smeared Ink. 

 Quote: "Music in the Soul can be heard by the Universe" Lao Tzu

The image was colored with Prisma coloring pencils, then fussy cut. The musical notes were printed on heavy cardstock and then fussy cut. The background was created with paper doilies and Dylusions spray inks. Everything was glued using Soft Gel Medium by Golden.
Added some dimension to the ballerina with charcoal.

Can't wait to see you at Art Journal Every Day.

Thanks!

Hug,
Julia

I'm Imperfect...

Hi everyone!
Today I am sharing some amazing news: I am part of the Design Team at Art Journal Every Day in the Smeared and Smudged Ning Group.

I've been Art Journaling for a long time and love it. Each page is so special, because it represents who you are at a given moment.
The DT has an amazing line up of prompts and tutorials. Each week a new tutorial and prompt will be posted and we will work together to bring inspiration.
During the DT call some prompts were posted. The first one was Distressing.
I decided to use distressed Designer Paper to add some interest to my page. The image is called Strange Doll from Rick st. Dennis.For the background I used a rubber stamp from the set Quoth the Raven from Smeared Ink. 

Can't wait to see you in at Art Journal Every Day.

Thanks!
