Art journal 1- Where will I go next?

I have 2 irrational fear in my life, using color & where will I go in the future. How about combining them both? Yeah inspired by Vicky Papaioannou's Art journal on her youtube channel, I am trying to explore this unfamiliar territory. Oh yeah the journal is handmade as well.

This piece is made from paper cutting, stamps, gesso, distress inks & acryllic paint. love the texture on the page.


Testing out distress ink. These two are the only ones I have as it is quite expensive (RM30++). another one is Archival Brilliance Black

 Background done! I use a map paper from take a HIKE from Simple Stories, glue it on the journal, Gesso as base, the colors are acrylic paint. then use Archival ink to stamp grunge texture (eventually becomes the tree base, when I intended it to be a city lol)

 cutting out the car from the paper collection & construct the road marker using both "take a HIKE", "for the record" by Lori Whitlock & random textured green paper. Oh each & every paper is distressed by the Vintage Photo Distress Ink

 It's done! the flower are stamped by 2 different flower stamps & I love the texture!. then using acrylic pen & Magic the Gathering promo card I flick the acrylic paint across the page. result is nice~

 Details. I messed up on the WHERE stencil... auugghhh

 & another boo boo as well... I supposedly glue the fences first b4 the green road but meeh it works XD

Gesso stained hand in the end!

Stay tune for another one!
Hint: It might use a pressed flower material!
