![Swatching my journal for some creative art journaling time today
Ready for this?
Yes. It’s becoming a series for me. Swatching my journals.
Spending time being creative is one of the best things you can do for yourself. It’s relaxing and helps clear your mind bringing joy to your heart. And starting with stamping and rubons is a great way to start. It’s simple and anyone can do it!
I have so many different paints and paint palettes, this really could be never ending.
For this page I started with my Letter Box Post Stamps from @ardencreativestudio and layered on some of my @lindysgang Laurel Garden Magicals for the perfect artsy foundation.
I added some of the Hidden Creek Rubons from @ardencreativestudio and then the swatching began with my @supervisionart watercolors
Inked a bounding box with a kuretake pen and called it done, Simple as that!

I just spent days on a trade show floor talking about creativity.
The second I got home, I sat down and actually made something.
Paint, a printable on washi sticker paper (printable from katiepertietdesigns.com), paste, and @ardencreativestudio Been There laser cuts — all on hot press watercolor paper from my new @flunbrato watercolor journal.
Simple as that.

Who says a greeting card cant be a frame-worthy piece of art?
This card came together with effortless layers using the Garden Chronicles Collection from @ardencreativestudio. A little ink, stamping, rub-ons, and laser cuts were all it took to create a design full of texture, color, and dimension.
I finished it by mounting everything onto Ardens gorgeous Aubergine cardstock, and just like that... it was complete.
Simple as that!
