I have created an double page art journal using the digi image by our sponsor. 

This journal page made my life a hell, you know why? Here in India we are still on lockdown and when I received this digi we were in lockdown and here at my place all printing shop was closed and my inkjet print will not work because when I used Watercolour it will blead so. But I didn't have any option so I took print from my inkjet printer only but my bad luck the print came very light and I couldn't work on it. Now I took my archival pen and redraw on the outline and made it dark. Now I took my dry pastel colour and coloured the digi image and fixed it with a coat of varnish. I coloured my background using chalk paints and did stencilling on it. Next I adhered the digi on one page and handwritten quote on another page. I had an awesome duet with this work and will never forget this work in my life.

Tribal Tribes

Hello  my lovely crafty friends, Welcome back to my blog.

A very warm good morning to you all, hope everyone is doing fine and staying safe. 

Today I'm sharing an art journal spread and I enjoyed very much while doing it. I created it using Tribal theme. 

Here I have used my brand new Dylusion Small art journal. First I coloured my background using Distress Carved Pumpkin and Mustard seed inks and to apply the colours on my background I used Tim Holtz blending brushes, which gives very smooth finish. Next sparkled few water on it to give little texture, next I stamped at few place using Craftangles script stamp and Walnut Stain Distress oxide ink. When i comes to create background I can't stop so I took a tribal stencil from iCraft and carved pumpkin ink and started to add it on my journal. I wanted something back on my focal image so I took another iCraft mandala stencil and started doing ink blending using walnut stain oxide. Now I started gluing my tribal images on that. Finally I added my quote on it and highlighted over images and on my quote. Gave walnut stain oxide on the border to enhance it.

Here are few close up pictures of it,
