I have a new page in my art journal to share. This one isn't too fancy or very involved but I really like it because I stepped out of my box a little and journaled! I had something on my mind and so I sat down and just created and worked in the moment.
I cut a piece of clear acrylic by Clear Scraps to fit my page and then embossed it with a Tim Holtz Retro Circles Texture Fade. I applied a variety of colors of alcohol ink to the surface.
I filled an alcohol ink fillable pen with blending solution and the pen tip to remove the color from some of the rings of the circles.
I added a few of Tim Holtz's Sprocket Gears over the circles. I added Super Tape around the sides and bottom of the acrylic piece and stuck it down on my inked page.
I cut a piece of white cardstock to fit the pocket, added ink, a bit of journaling, and an office tab along the top. My journaling talks about my habit of over thinking most things and too hard to control the outcome and how doing both throws a wrench in the works when I do. I reminded myself to just let go and let the machine run on its own once in a while.
