I’ve drawn, painted, and collaged in notebooks as long as I can remember. Now it’s called art journaling…whatever you call it – I still love it!

Last night I gathered my new not-yet-used Pam Carriker stamps, my beloved PITT artist pens, two of my own handmade stamps, gelli prints, paints, Mod Podge (Hard Coat is THE best!) and got to creating…

haven’t used my sketchbook in a while…

using my new Pam Carriker stamps for the first time…

used celery stalks to make these roses…

no scissors needed – I tore out roses I wanted to use…

added strips of gelli prints…

rediscovered this butterfly stamp I carved a while back…

I also carved this hearts stamp…

adding touches of silver to wings…

colored pencils over stamped paint adds color texture and contrast…

‘She’s finding her wings’…as yet unfinished…

’til next time…
