This page in my art journal was a lot of fun to build! It incorporates watercolor, scrap paper, an old book page, gesso, fabric flowers, stamps, sticker sentiment, permanent pens and Posca paint pens. Grab one of everything and hang on tight! Because here we go! A couple years ago while we still lived in Maine, I was into making what we called Pretty Painted Papers. Robin Mead got me started with them. The thought was to get some pretty paint on a page that might be used later as collage or even as the main focus of your page. I always loved this piece but never had any way to repurpose it . . . until now. I cut the paper to fit my journal page, which was roughly in half. So I have another half of this pretty painted page I can use another time. Win/win! When I made this paper I used watercolors, a permanent black pen and white Posca Paint Pens . The main feature I wanted to use on this page was the flower you see in the middle. I made this for a prompt in the group Express Your Art
