Artsy Fartsy

Lately I have been rediscovering my love of using art techniques on my scrapbook pages. For the last few months I have been sucked into the never ending world of yummy scrapbook embellishments (of which I want ALL but that's another story!), but thanks to the February/March edition of Scrapbook Answers Magazine I started playing with paint and ink again.

So it's perfect that the theme for this week's Studio Friday is your favourite art supplies.




This is a layout I did yesterday using the beeswax batik technique that was described in the mag. I used my pens to doodle the title, it's the first time I've tried doing a title like this and I quite like how it looks.


I bought a watercolour notepad a couple weeks ago so that I can start an art journal and freely experiment without fear. I think I will finally get started on it this weekend! Kelly Angard of Creative Collage has been leading a Create without Fear challenge which will be the perfect jumping off spot!

I so agree gesso is the bomb! I love all your colorful pens as well.
And the page is lovely with how you did the watercolors, oh and that lavender and the adorable pictures!

Awesome layout and yummy pens. I have a pad of watercolor paper and I must really break it out and try some more artsy stuff.
