Thats the whole secret behind this page — oxides splashed on blank paper, rub-ons, some ephemera, and suddenly youve got a creative release instead of a blank page staring back at you.

![Mixed media art journaling with stamping and watercolors for daily creative habit #artjournal
Make it a habit!
Spend time every day being creative. Mixing color. Exploring different mediums. Expand your mind and free your soul.
I didn’t spend long on this. My goal wasn’t a masterpiece. It was exploration. How do these colors work together? How do they take to the journal? Do I like the color block effect over the stamps?
Exploration like this generally leads to more creativity. More ideas. More exploring. And possibly a masterpiece or two in between. It keeps your creative mind flowing.
I used my @ardencreaativestudio sketch stamps with an archival ink and a mix of watercolor palettes!
Simple as that!

![Mixed media party invitation for creative card making with stencils and dies
You’re invited!
To Party!
I think I could make cards like this all day long. I started with a blank 4x6 heavyweight card, the Distressed Tile Stencil from @ardencreativestudio and the Bloom Set of @tcw_stencils Stencil Butters blending 3 of the colors to create this rainbow
After the stencil Butter was fully dry I added more color with watercolors to help connect it all and add more energy to the design
Just placing the die cut sentiment over the background, the sentiment was getting lost so I added some heavy gesso to give the sentiment a foundation and I love how it turned out!
After adding the sentiment I mounted the design onto Purple Haze Arden Colored Cardstock and called it done!
Simple as that!!
