What lights you up? It’s a simple question.

With a simple answer.

Creating.

Making stuff. That’s it. Whether I’m designing new collections or creating a new page in one of my journals. Creating. Art. Lights me up. I don’t have a therapist. I have art. I’ll never be bored. I’ll always find a way out of darkness with art.

For this page I used my 4x6 journal from @ardencreativestudio It’s made of 300gsm bright white paper and handles all my inks and wet mediums and the small format is the perfect size for a quick little collage.

The case is Bundled Sage Oxide ink and then archival ink and my Typecast Mix Background stamp from @ardencreativestudio

Added some liquid acrylic white paint to soften it back and blend it all together. When completely dry I added Rubons from the @ardencreativestudio Laurel Grove Rubons and the final touch is washi stickers from the Laurel Grove Washi Sticker Book with splatters from a watercolor crayon

Simple as that!
