There is a Galaxy . . . for ArtStacks and Art Journal Journey Monthly!

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

I've made a mixed media scrapbook page using ArtStacks' Artist Series packs by Tamara Laporte. (@willowing)





Head over to the ArtStacks' shop to see everything that is included in these amazing packs!


Here is the art journal page that I made:


I’ve been loving Tam’s latest packs, and decided to create a sister page to my “Endless Potential” art journal page that I made back in June.


To begin, I created an off-white background and incorporated various sized rectangles, by utilizing Tam’s background images from her 'Mystical Universe' pack. Next, I added torn, corrugated white paper. Then I fussy-cut and adhered the gorgeous image of the woman (also from the 'Mystical Universe’ pack) to my page. Once more, I chose a sentiment from the same pack and made it the title of my page.  The turquoise stars are also from the same pack, while the doodles are from Tam’s original 'Fabulous Faces' pack. Finally, I enhanced the background by adding stenciling, black stars, ink splatters, and machine stitching around the border. The entire process was remarkably easy and fun!


For more information about ArtStacks, head over to their website - you can see what their talented design team has come up with at their blog!



I am also linking up my page to Art Journal Journey Monthly's August challenge.


This month's host is Chris from Pearshaped Crafting.

Her theme for August is ‘Hot Summer (Nights or Days).' She was inspired by Neil Diamond’s legendary concert in August 1972!

While creating this page, I was reminded of the warm summer evenings and all of stars that adorn the night sky and galaxy after the sun sets.  I hope this goes along with Chris' Hot Summer Nights theme!!!

If you’re in the mood to make a project for AJJ’s August theme, head over to Art Journal Journey Monthly.  I think you will have an amazing time meeting so many talented and friendly artists there.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Have a creative August!

  8. A truly beautiful page and I definitely get the star reference! We used to love sitting on the decking when we had our caravan and watching the stars! Can't do that here - so much light pollution! Thanks so much for your support for my Summer Days theme at AJJ, hugs Chrisx
