Hi everyone,
I have been busy working on this little project for the last couple of weeks. I started with one the awesome, ready-to-go Tag Journal kit, from Art by Marlene. These are so much fun! I am not a confident art journaler, so this tag kit really let me explore my arty side (away from my usual scrap pages). If you are not sure, then give it a go! ;)
I started the project with the idea that I could create different art projects, whilst showcasing ALL the colours of my Dina Wakley Acrylic Paints. I have been collecting these little bottles for the past few months. I had not used every colour. So I made sure that every colour was used and documented in my Tag Journal. Now I can use my Tag Journal as colour swatches when I am trying to match colours.
I am going to share each page of my journal. For each page, I will let you know what products I used, and what colours in the Dina Wakley acrylic paints I used. If there is anything else you want to know, please leave me a comment and I will try to let you know.
On every page, I also used my posca pens extensively - both black and white - to highlight images, doodle and write paint colours.
I also used my Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher to staple some of the ribbons to the tag. Most of my ribbons and laces were white - I also used my DW paints to colour these.
