Seeds of Love, an Art Journal Page

 This pretty mixed media art journal page is from a tutorial by Tamara Laporte. This tutorial is in her book Create Your Life Book and is in a bundle of her lessons in Life Book 2020, which I bought online.

Tamara demonstrates a number of techniques, which she encourages you to use in your work intuitively. I enjoyed each and loved the music, along with the reasoning employed to use the layers in the project. I found the collage of scrapes followed by the white gesso with a brayer, a good way to layer and add textures. Working with two rubber stamps created even more textures plus interest. 

I used a variety of Caran d'ache crayons blending them with water. My Posca pens (black, white gold and silver) brought the piece to completion beautifully, with lots of patterning.
