Hi! It's Tiffany (Tiffany Johnson Creative) and I'm excited to share this mixed media art journal page with you. I jumped into my art journal with some acrylic paint, a plastic gift card, black ink, stencils & stamps from STAMPlorations.

I started out by swiping some neon yellow and white paint onto the page with an old gift card. I dipped the card in both colors and swiped it in alternating directions on the page to create a quick light background.

Using the Art Splatters stencil, I blotted neon orange, blue, and green paint through the stencil with my finger (you could use a cosmetic sponge for a neater option).  Moving the stencil around the page & alternating the bright colors created a fun paint splattered look.  

Using the Art Marks stamp set, and black ink, I stamped ink splotches, arrows, doodled circles,  and the word "Inspire" onto the journal page.  

I used the black ink pad and rubbed it lightly around the edges of the page to create a black distressed border around the page.  

Using a typewriter font on the computer, I created some word strips to go with the word "inspire" that was stamped on the page earlier. Once I printed them and cut them out, I glued them down in place with a glue stick.

 

Using a black micron pen, I loosely doodled a border around the word strips and the word "inspire".

"Inspire to play, Inspire to create, Inspire to be free". I hope this page inspires you to play creatively and create something fun in your art time!!!  

Many blessings!!!!  See you soon!
