Hello, everyone! It's
Broni here with you today. I hope you all had a wonderful
Christmas and that you're ready for a bright and happy New Year!
I don't know about you, but I'm ready to move on from all the holiday hustle
and bustle. Lately I've been looking forward to celebrating LOVE and creating
Valentine's Day projects. I have one for you today!
I've got a brief run-down on the how-to for you:
I added a book page to my journal using
Matte Multi-Medium, then painted it with some watered down
Gesso.
Next I added some
Spun Sugar Distress Paint.
I took some scraps that I had left over from another project and added them to
the page with the
Multi-Medium, then added some print stamped in
Memento Tuxedo black ink, and some hearts from the
Catherine Scanlon Random Shapes stamp set stamped in
Seedless Preserves ink.
I drew some lines around the page and added some shading to the hearts with a
watercolor pencil and also added some
Tiny Circles with
Black Soot ink.
I cut a heart from some cardboard and painted it with
Black
Gesso then added some
Charcoal twine tied through the tag hole. I randomly added
some silver dots using
Glossy Accents. My die cut arrow is also from the leftovers
of another project. (You'll get to see that one on Thursday!)
Sigh. Now that we've moved on from Christmas, what's up for you in the new
year? More crafting, I hope!
Have fun!

Absolutely stunning and I love the mixed media feel and the pink colouring which is perfect for valentines.

Great journal page, Broni! Love the monochromatic color scheme and all the great layering. I always forget that you can water down gesso to make a great whitewash effect. Thanks for the reminder!
Beautiful page Broni ! I'm with you, definitely ready to move on from the festive season now ! Sue C x
I've gotten so obsessed with ATCs that I haven't done any art journaling in AGES. Love your page! So much delish texture. Well done.
Wonderful - I don't always comment but I am always watching!!!

I am so ready for hearts, too, Broni! LOVE the pinks and LOVE the hearts! FAB journal page!
Love the colors and love how you incorporate left over bits and pieces from other projects and it looks so cohesive. Gorgeous spread, GF!! And yes, I'm hoping to get more ART time in 2014.
Beautiful Broni..love that you used bits and bobs as well!!
Big hugs
