Art Journal pages about death

 Hi there ! 

I know I told you I would post something soon... I swear I just blinked and it's already October !

So here I am, with a new addition to my Art Journal, inspired by Halloween season and a lost in my family :

I started by building the background with distress oxide ink in Bundled Sage by Tim Holtz and water, then using a round stencil with a Faber Castell purple pen to create the two circle, painted with a metallic purple paint by Art Anthology.

Using a purple ink by Scrapbook.com, I stamped the small leaves from Dearest friend set by Altenew and colored them in yellow with a gel pen. I added few drops of purple ink+water, before adding the text cut with a Cricut and the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge. The letter were ink with Carved Pumpkin distress oxide ink.

There is so many pages still blank in this journal ! Let's hope I will work faster to fill it...

Almost a year !

Hello at least !

 It has been almost a year since my last post, and I'm so sorry I didn't write during this time...

Last year, we made a tough decision to go back to France, me and my daughter first, for educational purpose, so I left all my scrapbook stuff behind me. I packed everything, and at the end of the year my husband was able to join us, so our house was moved from Houston to the South of France with a late arrival end of January...

Since then I didn't have much to organize my scraproom, as I had a whole house to fit in an already furnished house, even now I just have a corner on my desk to create. But for the birthday of my oldest daughter, I wanted to create a card, so I reached out for some papers, stamp and Copics, and here is the result !

Papers are Recollections brand, stamp is a Gorjuss girl by DoCrafts, and markers are Copics. The design is not very intricate, I had to keep it simple because most of my stuff are still in boxes and my desk is cramped... Take a look :

I have now more time to organize all this (between my teenager daughter, husband, two dogs, and my psychologist/hypnotizer activities...), so I will soon (I hope) post new projects on this blog !

Thank you for stopping by today, I promise it will not be a year before I post the new one !

Have a great day !
