Green and Yellow Paisley: Mixed Media Art Journal Layout
Chit Chat
l haven’t been crafting a whole lot this week as I have been sewing for my little. I have a birthday and a Easter dresses to finish before the end March so I have to sew, sew sew!
So, I will just show you some pictures and call it a day.
Creating the Journal Page
Here is the next page in my India themed art journal. The other two are The Pensive Sarod Player and I Am Unique.
In this journal, I have been challenging myself to get more creative with my backgrounds. On this page I used the StencilGirl Pilgrimage to India with Grunge paste. Fresco Finish Paints and Infusions were layered in the background. I detailed the stencil with embossing powder by rubbing embossing ink over the stencil. I Love this bright color yellow. The frame around the photo is from the StencilGirl Art Deco Borders, embossed in gold and red. The stamping in the background is by Pink Paislee.
I made my own embellishment using some twine, chipboard, canvas key and beads.
Thanks for stopping by.

Yet another journal entry that has stolen my heart. I have been working on a 7 continent journal/altered book for about 13 years, and I have never created a page as lovely as this one, or your previous India inspired pages. I like how you focused on the background and the stencil, but most of all, I like the colors that are rich in Indian history. Thanks for sharing this beautiful page with us at Art Journal Journey, Kate. It’s a beauty.
Love your journal pages with the wonderful Indian atmosphere, so pretty. Love the colours you used, and paisley is always beautiful. Have fun for the little ones. Have a great weekend, hugs, Valerie
