 Hi everyone and welcome back, it's Vicky here and today I have an epic art journal video I will be sharing about 12 art journal pages These are mini journal pages and I will be working with products from the new release by art by Marlene Now I want to create another mini art journal like this one that is going to be a narty Arabian themed However, this one that I have been working with for a couple of months now has many empty pages So I want to finish these pages before I move on to a new art journal and that's exactly what I'm going to do today I'm going to make a little layout for each and every one of those empty pages For that I am going to use the two cutout parts from the new collection But since I want to create a new one with an Arabian theme I'm going to use only images that are more generic and I'm going to keep those lovely houses The camels and such for the next little art journal that I'm going to share here as well So as I'm browsing through the pages, I'm picking up different images I'm going to put them aside so I can use them on these pages So from here for example, I picked the earth. There are little tabs that keep those Cutouts in in the page You can use your fingers like I'm doing here very carefully with making sure that you are not going to tear off the cutout or if you like you can snip those little tabs with your scissors Now I'm going to flip through and just try and find more images and from this one I'm going to pick all those little birds that are stuck one on top of the other And if you have a bigger page or working on a larger art journal You can even use more of them to stack it on top. This way you can have your focal point bigger But it works great for the size of the page that I have here I'm also going to pop out this little princess and I'm browsing through again and again trying to find even more generic images and if you want to follow along I'm going to show you what I'm going to work to use to work on this page So first of all, I'm going to use these doodle stumps. This is a Stump set from the previous collection that I have been using again and again I'm also going to use my glue my black archival ink a black pen a white pen The cutouts and the sticker book. So this is where I'm going to get all my quotes Now the pages are already made. They have stenciling on top. They do have some stamping some of them and I did share a video on how I made all these pages and you will find this linked At the end of this one. So here I'm using the cross-hatch little stamp here and with my black ink I'm adding some stamping all around For this one, I'm going to go with a green ink and just stamp at the back I found that this background didn't have too much interest in the background. That's why I'm doing some stamping there and now I'm going to bring in a little stamp that says the word love and With my black archival ink, I'm going to stop it along the sides Three times just because I like the number three on my pages now for this page I'm going with those really exotic flowers. They would work great for the Arabian theme Our journal and I might use those as well again there But I think they are great for this one too and since you get twice the designs I do have the option to use them in both journals if I want to For gluing down my cutouts. I used my nobodeleux glue Now I'm drawing some stems and for that I'm using my black marker I will go with black and white for the stems just because I love that look I find it really whimsical and I keep going back to it again and again So every one of those little areas is going to be black and then in between I'm going with my white gel pen. I Usually like to have borders and for this one I'm using my black marker and I'm drawing a very Organic border all around connecting the words love So you see the lines are really wavy nothing is straight here And I think this adds more to the look I'm switching from a thin marker to a thicker marker just because some lines I want them to stand out even more and then I'm going to use my white gel pen and Color in some of the areas For all these pages first I'm doing the page and then I'm looking through the quotes to find something that fits So here I decided to go with stand tall. These are stickers So I'm just peeling it off and I'm going to stick it where I think it looks better And that just like always I'm going to use my thin black marker and go around That sticker to draw some lines sketch lines nothing is straight here and I finished off the page by adding some white doodling on the background So here are some close-up photos on the first little layout where you can see all the details The fun part about this mini art journal is that you can easily take out those pages Work on them and then put them back in so this is a page that is going to go here But before I put it back in I still have to finish off the rest of the pages So at the back I'm going to work with a stack of birds. I find these hilarious and if you see a close-up photo You will see that they are just adorable Now I'm just trying to find a way to give them kind of a ground. I don't want them to float on my page So for that I decided to go with this stamp which would work great as a border And I did use it in many of my pages before So I am stamping that here and there Now I'm going to bring in another stamp to add some interest on the background again. I don't want this to be very Vibrant that's why I'm going with my green ink once again and always remember nothing has to be super neat This is an art journal. This is something that you do for fun and I did enjoy the whole process today Now I'm going to stick these guys on top of that border that I created And I did use my white gel pen and my black marker to color in some of these areas But at the end I didn't like the look so I'm going to bring in even more die cuts from the pad I am going to use this part on top. Don't throw away the rest I'm going to stick it on top of that stamped image that I didn't like at all so I'm going to cover it up somehow and I'm going to bring in even more of those cutouts to Cover up the rest of the areas and I didn't cut out this part of the video because I wanted you to see that I don't make always something that I like sometimes things go wrong I don't like how they look but there is also some way to save the page You don't need to throw it away or cover it up completely. So this is what I'm doing here I'm just picking bits and pieces from the cutout pads And I'm covering up the areas that I don't like and at the same time notice that I'm giving them something to stand on top Which is what I was planning to do from the beginning and I think that these two little cutouts are perfect for that I'm going to use my scissors and cut out the excess and there are plenty of those pieces in the pads in different color combos Which make great borders In all my pages I like to bring in my white gel pen to add some highlights here and there on their noses On those pieces that I stick all around I really like the look and I think that having those highlights throughout the book in all the pages It makes the book look more cohesive For this page I went with a sticker that says I'm a little crazy in a big way And I think it is really appropriate with those crazy birds one on top of the other and you will see them better in the close-up photos Now I always like to cut out larger stickers to smaller pieces I'm sticking them down again with my black pen I'm going all around to draw some sketchy lines and to finish it off I'm going to add some white doodling on the background and You can see here some finished photos Moving on to the next page and this time I'm using the earth And I want another way to create a ground somehow where I can place my globe For that I'm using this collage paper from the new pad and I'm just going to cut out a piece and stick it down there I can remember you can stick down things with your matte medium You can stick it with any type of glue that you like with a glue stick or with Double-sided tape. It's really up to you. I like to use my new water looks glue I love how I like how it doesn't clog on me and it has that fine tip That's why I keep using this again and again So anyway, I'm now going to stick the globe on top If you like you can use a black marker to go around the edges before you stick down the cutouts This is going to help them stand out even more It creates kind of a shadow all around. Another way to go is once you stick them down You can create a shadow with your watercolour markers. You can use your black marker and draw all around it There are different ways that you can work with these cutouts I am switching from one way to another just depending on the mood that I have on that moment For my quote on this page I went with a stop to see the beauty along the way and I think this is really appropriate for this page especially since it has that plane that flies all around the globe Since I have a black quote, I'm going around it with a white gel pen I'm also adding my highlights and for the background just to add some more interest I'm using a white paint marker. This is by Arteza and I'm adding some positive signs So here are some close-up photos on this page and the page with the girl is another one that I will be making of this video later on For the next page I'm going to work on this blue one and you can see that this already has some stamping and a stenciling at the back I picked those three designs from the paper pad and I'm going to stick them down It is the same design but in different size so it makes it look more interesting I did use my scissors to cut out a little last strip from one of those collage pages And if you know me by now You know that I don't like my focal points floating on the page So I always need to ground them somehow That's why I'm using that black and white piece there and I'm going to stick on top my owl Since the background is very colorful to help him stand out a little bit more I'm using my black marker this time to draw all around him I'm also adding some sketchy lines around that collage piece Now to my white gel pen I am making those white areas even more prominent by going over them And of course my absolutely necessary highlights For my quote I went with the sticker that says sometimes you win and sometimes you learn And I think this is appropriate especially since we have an owl And this is the representation of wisdom I did go with my black pen around the stickers to add some sketchy lines And you can see here some close-up photos And I know that since I do that much video editing It looks as if I'm making the pages in a minute, but it's not like that trust me I struggle with the position or how I am going to put things together But this is the finished result So here I decided to work with blues on top of this background Just because they are going to stand out nicely This says again one of the cutouts I'm going to stick it down and on top of it I'm going to place again So again I have something to ground my cutout, my main focal point And I think it fits nicely there on top Of course I'm going to use my scissors to cut out all the excess paper And looking through the stickers I found one that says be brave enough to listen to your heart And again I think this is really appropriate since she is holding a heart And I always suggest to find a quote that really matches your focal point This is going to make the page come together Now the background looks a little bit plain So again I'm using one of my doodle stamps I'm going to add some stamping back there with my black ink And of course I'm going to bring in my white gel pen And add the highlights on the girl as well as on the background I also brought out my white paint This is again by Arteza This is acrylic paint in the form of a marker And I like it because it rides nicely and it is opaque Also it has a very thick nib Which is a great alternative for thicker details When I don't want to use the very fine tip of my white gel pen So again here are some close-up photos on this page And again some sneak peeks on another page that you will see in a minute And I told you this is going to be an epic art journal video Since I'm sharing so many pages in one video And let's move on to the next one For this one the focal point is going to be this girl Who is holding the earth on her hands I am stealing the idea that I had in a previous page And I'm using those cutouts to ground my little girl I'm sticking everything down with my new water looks glue And I'm bringing in my sticker book And I picked this time a lovely quote Which matches perfectly with that girl And it says shake the world in a gentle way In these sticker books you will find those quotes twice Which means that you don't have to be frugal with them There is always another one that you can use One of them is going to be with white background And the second one is going to be with black background So you can choose whatever stands out better on your page Now here I used my black marker to draw a very organic line along the edges And with my white paint marker I'm going to color it in I'm also going to add some dots here and there on the background And of course my favorite highlights with the thinner gel pen And again here are some close-up photos on this page And at the end of this video you will find a flip through On this mini art journal which I am absolutely in love with I think it is super happy with all those vibrant colors So let's move on to another page This time I'm going to work with that princess And I think it stands out nicely on top of this background Always note what color is your focal point and your background So I would never stick a yellow piece on top of this background or a green one It wouldn't stand out nicely So in any case I'm browsing through the pages of those collage papers To try and find something that would match with what I have here So that I can create a little border And I went with these bluish papers just because they match nicely with the color of her hair So I'm going to stick those all around Remember this is collage paper which means that it is super thin And it's going to blend nicely with the rest of the page It's not going to stand out at all No texture whatsoever I have the edge that comes towards the page a little bit crooked If you noticed I used my scissors to cut out those strips of paper With a curve just to make it look more interesting and whimsy I'm using my scissors to cut out all the excess paper And then with a black line I'm going to help them stand out even more With my thick white marker I'm going to add some dots here and there Just to add some more interest on the background I want to make them look as if the hair splashes completely random And then I can stick my girl on top Now on the cutouts there are some hearts that have wings I cut out a wing out of this tiny little heart And I'm going to stick it on her back So it looks as my girl has wings And now it matches perfectly with the sticker quote that I'm going for That says with brave wings she flies And I think this project is really easy for a beginner If you are new to our journaling You are going to have so much fun playing with these cutouts Just find quotes that match the cutouts Create little journals And especially if you are working on a mini art journal It doesn't seem so overwhelming Since you don't have such a big space to cover up When you are a beginner I would suggest to start with a smaller art journal Just like this one So here is another really quick and simple one This is going to be the center of my book So it is a double spread I did use the bigger butterfly that completely covers up one of the pages On the other one I went with the quote that says If you have to choose a color choose rainbow And I think it matches with the butterflies It has all those colors there Now again with my paint marker I'm adding some doodling on the background And I like to have the same doodling on both these pages So they seem as if they are actually a part of the same double spread Moving on to the next one And this time I picked up three of those circle flowers You can stick them down and draw stems Just like I did for the first one of the pages that I shared today Or just create a little cluster with those flowers floating on the page Now floating isn't something that I'm going for usually But this time I managed to do it And I think I absolutely love the result Now for the quote I went with one that says Born to create Just because I think I am And since this is a black background quote I'm going to use the white gel pen to add the sketchy lines around it Of course I'm adding the highlights just like always And I'm going to show you a trick here which I just realized And I absolutely love it I will be working with that on the next pages as well You can use one of those doodle stamps And add on top white paint with that artisan marker And then you can stamp with that And I absolutely love the result These artisan markers come in a set With way more colors than the one that I'm using in this video And I think I'm going to make a review Because I have been playing with them for a few days now And I think they are great for art journaling They have thick nibs And the paint goes nicely on top of other mediums So anyway I'm going to put that aside And here are some close up photos on this page And since this is an endless art journal video Let's make one more page This time I'm using this huge cutout of that girl with the flowers I'm going to stick her down And since this is quite big It's going to cover up a huge amount of the background The girl has that circle around here With those black and white lines And this is exactly what I'm trying to recreate Around the border of this page So I try to bring things together By recreating things, repeating the patterns That I find in the cutouts So I colored my black areas And now I'm going to fill in in between with white And since I fell in love with that white paint marker I'm going to add some dots again Really randomly Like as if they were splashes And again I'm going to do my doodling With my white and black pens For the quota I went with a sticker That says confetti in my hair But I don't care I think this is really appropriate And to make it fit better with the girl I'm going to use my white gel pen And add dots of white dots on her hair So this is going to bring those two together Here are some close up photos on this page And fear not, I have more pages for you So let's move on to the next one For this one I went with this cutout With the moon and the sun And I think it matches perfectly that background I did use some of the stars Again I just popped them out of those paper pots And I'm just sticking them all around And for the quota I'm going with one that says Dream without fear Love without limits And when I see the moon It always somehow brings the world dream to me That's why I think that these two fit nicely together Now I chose to go with the quota that has the black background Because I think it is standing out better on my page I'm using my doodling with my black and white pen And finally I'm going to do the same trick Like I did on the previous page Where I'm using that white paint To add color on the stamp And then stamp all around the page This is the easiest way to stamp with white And I like the fact that this is acrylic paint Which means that it's going to dry permanent Again here are some close-up photos on this page And I know that this video is getting super long But I promise the next page is going to be the last one This time I'm working with the earth And I love that it has a heart drone on top And I wanted to use some little houses on top of the earth So I decided to grab those two houses from a previous pad From a previous collection by Art by Marlin Because I didn't want to use those Arabic houses I am saving them for the next art journal with that Arabic theme So anyway I'm going to stick those flowers as well And I'm using my scissors to cut out the excess paper Having everything nice and neat For the quote I went with the one that says Create your own whimsical world I'm going to cut it in half, stick it down And just like I did with all the previous pages I'm going to add my white highlights I'm going to do my black doodling And add some dots on the background And finally here are some close-up photos On the last page for today The new collection by Art by Marlin Is now available at Jogles and it is on sale If you like something, move fast since I know that they sell out super quickly I'm going to leave you with a quick flip through this mini art journal I hope that you had fun today and that you got inspired Have a lovely weekend
