This is my latest art journal page. I have seen a couple pages where they put a couple different scraps of things on the page to give it texture then painted over it so I decided that I wanted to give it a try :D. It was super easy but I wish I would have spent more time finding things to put on there, I have seen people using puzzle pieces, doodles done with hot glue, cut outs from card stock, that sort of thing. I just grabbed a few different things and slapped them on there with a TON of Mod Podge to hold it all on there. I should have probably used a different kind of glue but after a ton of layers it seemed to hold everything down really well. I have a piece of lace, a couple different textures of string, a button, some scraps of paper, some tulle, some rick rack, and some wire that I folded into a heart shape. After I had it all put down I squirted blue all over the paint and used a small foam roller to spread it around. When the blue had dried I put a few squirts of the yellow on the page and spread it out with the foam roller. I put this quote on there just using a paint brush, my horrible handwriting, and a little black acrylic paint. Overall I think this page turned out pretty good for my first attempt at this sort of look, I love the idea, the colors, and the quote but next time I will put a little more time and effort into what things I put down and where I put them.
