Day 3 of AEDM! This journal page represents all the people we meet on our journeys. There is an abundance of people who guide us on our paths and I was feeling very grateful for each one by the time I finished this page.

After taking Diana Trout’s class I decided to try my hand at using only 3 colors in a journal page. As I mixed colors I filled in a square on my journal page. The meaning, purpose, or story of this page had not revealed itself to me yet. Fancy way of saying, “No idea where this is going.”

I found myself over thinking what to do at this point so I just drew the squares with a Sharpie and punched out the leaves. I hadn’t glued the leaves down yet because I wasn’t sure if I wanted them centered or off center.

I started cutting up vintage photos and then the meaning of this page was revealed to me – the people I have met along my journey.
This is so wonderful. It needs to be in a frame on the wall. Xoxo. Terah
Really beautiful page! I love how the use of only 3 colors resulted in so many variations. And the journaling around the squares is so cool!!
Awesome journal page…love the idea of adding the vintage photos!
This so awesome, creative and great visual memories! Wow! ~thanks, namaste, Carol (Share the Creative Journey) Happy CED ^_^
Wow – I just adore this!
Those 3 colors really caused the whole page to be united. I love what you did with it!
Love this!

I really love this, and appreciate your sharing of the technique you used. It really is a lesson that the meaning of the piece revealed itself to you as your artwork progressed.
this is a great page and I love it when you get such great results when you heaven’t planned it out…xx
Only three colors–wow! Love the grid and how cheery this turned out filled with people you love. 🙂
Thank you for visiting my blog, Carolyn. This is amazing. So striking. It has both a modern and a vintage feel. I love it.
That is so cool!!! It would look great framed 🙂
Love the revealing. Happy AEDM :).
Stay inspired!
What a wonderful blog! I LOVE seeing what you’ve done here and in your classes and LOVE all that beautiful color you’re using – thank you for the inspiration, xo
This is so nice! I think this idea has many possibilities beyond a journal page, and would make lovely gifts. A limited palette is often a good idea, even though it’s hard to do. The results are great here!
