The new challenge on the Tiddly Inks challenge blog is art journaling. I love to see art journaling from other people, but it is a bit scary to do it yourself...Yikes. I have tried to make something this afternoon and although all my first attempts all have dissapeared in the bin, I did finish one card. And I have to admit, it was actually a fun challenge to do, although my own card making style is really different. I have used the image Poppy from the Tiddly Inks shop. I have coloured Poppy with copic markers Normally I don't colour with copics, but I thought it would look better on this card than an image that was coloured with pencils. I have cut the image out and used foamtape to adhere it on the card. I used black cardstock for my card. I used glossy photopaper for the layer on top of the card. It is very cheap normal paper and I added some drops distress ink on it. I used the refill bottles for this. I have used the colours Barn door and Spun sugar. But all the pink ink has disspeared when I started to spread the ink. Then I let the ink dry for a while and after that I added a bit smooch spritz with the colour Log cabin and I let everything dry again. When everything had dried, I could see where I had added the drops of distress ink on the photopaper, so I took a black pilot marker and doodled some flowers around those dots. I also stamped a couple of flowers with black ink. I used a white gelpen to add some dots to the flowers. I used white thread to make a couple of stitches. I bought the black decoration tape a while ago at a Dutch store.I made the sentiment with the help of my computer. I used the black marker to draw the frames around the words and then I cut them all out.
