Art Journal Idea: Die Cuts and Paints

I cut some die cuts from scans of my doodles and I colored the cardstock with watercolors, glue it into my journal. Then add paint around it.

Do you carry around gesso?

[comfortableshoesstud]

@sweetspyder I have in the past- I filled a travel sized burt's bee's empty tub of something with gesso, but I don't do that now. I simply carry around watercolors, pencils, pen, my journal, tape and sometimes glue.

what kind of glue do you carry around with you when you travel?

@sweetspyder I have a small glue bottle that I refill when it empties. I refill it with whatever glue I'm using at the time. It was one of those small sizes of Alene's tacky glue.

Isn't it amazing how far you can scrape a small dot of paint when using a credit card or similar. Since becoming a huge paint scraping fan I haven't used no where near as much paint as I used to.

@EvelineUK I know! It is really surprising and unexpected how much it will spread.

@boek88 I was trying to go for a high contrast color to my background, sometimes it doesn't work out. Sorry about that. I'll look for a better color for my next video and leave the text up slightly longer.

Great to see your work. I am sorry but I am not able to read the text, orange is nice but difficult to see. And therefore text is showing too short to read. It even too quick to pause for me... (I am not the quickest I know, my reading is much quicker ;) in Dutch)
