No pens were harmed in the making of this art journal page! Although it was risky to use a regular pen on paint that hadn’t dried completely, my pen made it through the ordeal as I played in my art journal with some new text stencils!
In the video below, as I finish this art journal page, I share with you how I combined parts of words to create the text I needed.
Watch Using word stencils in a colorful art journal on YouTube.
Making this page was lots of playful fun but it was also a strong message from the muse reminding me to listen to the wisdom that often comes in soft whisper. What messages have you been getting from your muse lately?
Stencils Used
Sharing with my friends at Paint Party Friday, Creative Every Day, and Art Journal Every Day.
Yay, Carolyn!!
LOVE your new stencil designs!
LOVE that stencil and love how you use it! I love how your background started! And, am glad then pens are ok:) I have killed a few as well.
I love it still learning and found some letter stencils which I used on my new craft. Where did you get your stencils at would love to get some. The word in my head right now is BELIEVE. Still watching alot of youtube videos on artjournaling and your blog gives me inspiration thanks for sharing loving your journey. oh almost forgot have you seen the new sharpies at wal-mart 80’s glam color so cool.
Another GREAT page and love the new stencils!
Love the shapes on the page and the word stenciling is fabulous!
FAB! Pens are one of my faves ans they DO seem to recover from paint abuse, LOL xox
Carolyn, great post and video – I especially love the pen disclaimer- you make me laugh every time! have a great day!
Always an inspiration and never a bore.
Love to watch your videos, you are fearless! Art journaling is suppose to be fun and your way of journaling looks like a ton of fun.
Just pinned you…hope it didn’t hurt! I love revisiting pieces of art I have started, then abandoned…or thought finished when, obviously, they were not! Great result today, Carolyn!
