Lots of Lovely Layers

Layers are important to art-journaling, so here is my way to do it pretty easily. I worked on canvas board, but you can apply the same techniques in your journal.

Hey, I see you have a Cricut. do you use it in journaling?

[owlsandelephants]

I would love to say that I do use it in journaling, but it seems that when i start journaling, i forget about all my scrapbookinb "toys." I've had it for quite a while, but am just now playing with a whole lot. but i am definitely going to be using it in a video sometime soon.

Can you tell me what you used to "glue" down the book paper you started with? Gesso or regular glue? BTW, I absolutely love your choice of music. Very classy! Love that French.

[owlsandelephants]

honestly I can't remember...but i'm gonna say a glue stick because that's what I use most often.

Why do you have to do so many layers. IS it just to add interest?

[owlsandelephants]

I just think layering is fun. It gives it a unique look that I don't think is achieved through just a little paint or one layer of stuff.

personal preference. I do pages with tons of layers, or just paint, paper and words.

@Graciebellrocks I think that she's making an art journal to have fun, not to be professional. Have you ever tried using glue sticks and "little kid" paint in your art journal? I personally think they are the best. Thanks for the video owlsandelephants, your art journal is awesome!

I love your finished background! I am always too timid to do more than a couple layers....I need to get over that whole fear of "ruining" something I've created. Hopefully I can one day get to that stage! Haha.

Also, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for putting yourself out there and posting these and other vids. Beginners like me sure appreciate all the inspiration we can get! (and I very rarely look at what jeans the poster's wearing....pfft).
