The theme is SOMETHING YOU LOVE.
I thought for a while and decided I would make a page for my art journal, something I love doing but don't get around to often enough, and I would combine techniques that I really enjoy doing. I also love stories of magic and fantasy so that decided a theme for my page.
I started with a previously made background that had been stencilled and smooshed with inks and brushos in shades of brown and bronze, cut an arch shaped aperture from a square of it and stamped it with a Lavinia vine stamp in various shades of green. I cut a smaller arch from the remainder of the original background (it was just big enough!) and added some stencilling and more ink to darken it. I used my copic markers to colour the beautiful fae image, a Morgan's Artworld digi, added a little stencilling and inserted it behind the arched 'window'. The sentiment strips are stamped and gold embossed using stamps from various companies.
I took my time creating this page, but am happy to say I really enjoyed the time spent.

Your journal page has such a rich, immersive atmosphere. The layered arches draw the eye straight into that magical scene, and the blend of stenciling, brushos, and ink gives the background so much depth. The image is beautifully colored and feels perfectly at home in that fantasy world. Every element works together with such intention, and the time you spent on it really shows in the harmony of the final piece.
Wow, stunning page.Anesha
