Take Chances for ArtStacks and Art Journal Journey Monthly

 Hi everyone!  I am here today sharing my latest project that I made for ArtStacks!

This time, I made a hybrid art journal spread using ArtStacks' new 'Artist Series' releases made by Birgit Koopsen.


Her first pack is titled Essential Elements:


And her second pack is called Forest Walk:


To see everything that is included in these incredible packs, head over to ArtStacks!


Here is the hybrid art journal spread that I made:




I began by using the printed version of Birgit’s background paper from her Essential Elements pack and adding it to my art journal. Next, I added some black and white paint splatter to the background. Then, I digitally added her black and white leaves to the outside edges of my pages. I love this look!!  The bird's leaves, quote and 2 feathers are from Birgit’s digital Forest Walk pack. Finally, I added the beautiful image of the woman, printed on acetate, from the Essential Elements pack. 


I definitely hope that I have inspired you to create.  I highly recommend Birgit's new releases!

I am also linking my page up to April's theme at  Art Journal Journey Monthly:

This month is (once again) being hosted by Erika from BioArtGal.  Her theme for April is "Spring Birds."  She says . . . "Think about spring and think about birds.  Your art journaling can be bird related, spring related, or spring AND bird related.  That's up to you."

I enjoyed making my "Take Chances" spread and added 2 bird feathers to the bottom of my pages for Erika's challenge. 

I hope you are able join in on the fun for Spring at Art Journal Journey this month!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Happy April!
