Hey there, it is my turn, Terry, to give you some inspiration with the Stampsoup stamps, stencils and Flowerstamps from Polkadoodles....
Here I go...
What I did was, having loads of fun making 2 art journal pages,
I started out with 2 art journal pages and worked with different colors of distress ink, magical powders and water, I sprayed the papers untill I was happy with it. I played with the butterfly stencil and colored the butterflies with distress ink....not to bright and not too much ink, but just enough....
I then stamped some flowers in random order onto my art journal page and colored it with distress inks and acrylic paints. I used yellow, orange, gesso and the red color.
I took the dutch doobadoo stencil out and I was drawing the branches and leaves.
Then I thought I would use my polychromos pencils and the leaves and branches myself how much fun is that. And I took the Graph'It white marker and placed some lines in the centre of the flowers
A black pen was used to place some lines aswell.
At first I did not know what to place on the 2nd page but it did not take me long to decide to stamp the flowers overthere aswell. So the same ritual took place and I colored the flowers with distress inks and with acrylic paints. I must say that I am happier with the flowers on the right side. I think they turned out better then my first page. lol.....but oh well it is oke, cause it is in my art journal and you can play along in that and make whatever you want....that's the fun of working in an art journal
So I took the Hello Friend stampset out and stamped the leaves from the Heart Sing Clear Stamp Set on top of the art journal page after that the Regal Peacock stampset and played with some flowers, Then I colored lots of different butterflies from different kind of Clear Stamp Sets and colored them with different colors so they would pop out of the pages....I think I did make them pop....
So after I stamped my flowers I played a bit further with the black pen and the white Graph'It marker, you keep on adding on to the pages when you are playing in it. It is so much fun, you really should try it.
I added a stamp from the Honey Daisy stampset after I finished my background, I thought the honey combe stamp would make it look even better....
So this is page 1 with loads of colorfull flowers, flowers on top, butterflies and some sentiments that I stamped from the Heart Sing Stamp Set and I placed some lines all around the sentiments with a black pen. So much fun......
So this is Page number 2 and this one also has lots of flowers, nice vibrant ones, flowers on top and some butterflies colored with distress inks, polychromos pencils and some hearts from the Making Faces Clear Stamp Set, for this project it was all about how many stamps can I use to create 2 Art Journal Pages, I think I succeede my mission lol.....
And there ya go, my project that I made for your inspiration is finished, I can tell you I had such fun to figure out what stamps, colors etc. I would use and where to place them. It was a fun puzzle for me and I enjoyed myself a lot. I sure hope that I have given you lots of inspiration and hope that it will give you some Ideas HOW to work in your Art Journal.....let's get creative guys......
