Books-Art Journal

 Hi everyone, I'd like to share my art journal page....I'm so excited with the whole art journaling concept and this is really my first attemp at something more than just a little stenciling and words.  I actually bought a moleskin journal, gel medium, and some other mixed media supplies.  It was a little hit and miss and I actually had to start completely over with my background but in the end I really love how it turned out.

I LOVE reading and I have quite a few reading/book images and quotes that will end up in this book, along with some other favorite images, now I just can't wait to do more pages!

I used a mix of gesso and tissue paper, washi tape, gelatos, distress ink (which I learned will smear...don't use these for this type of project) the distress paint daubers worked well though and then I glued and coated everything with gel medium.  The library cards are a stamp I've had for awhile and was happy to be able to use it for the first time, the ticket stamps are from a couple different Tim Holtz sets and the gorgeous digi stamp is from Ching-Chou Kuik called Lil Bookworm Fairy, she is such a gorgeous image and perfect for my journal!
