Do What You Love

Hello everyone!

Today it´s time for my second project for Country View Challenges . This month´s theme was chosen by the lovely Monika and it is "Love".

I made this art journal page, that tells - do what you really love! 

I started by glueing down some pieces of old book pages and some vintage ephemera I received as a giveaway (thank you again, dear Monika =)).

When everything was dry, I started to sketch the face. I did two courses to learn how to draw/paint faces (Let´s Face It 2017 and 2018, find more about here). The courses are very informative and clear, I really enjoyed ..... but I still have to catch up with the classes.
Well, one of the artists, who teached in 2018, was Toni Burt and I was inspired by her amazing work. So I tried to create something in that mood.

I printed out some of that lovely roses I found on The Graphics Fairy, fuzzy cut them and glued them down. Then I slightly colored the face and the page with watercolors.

I stamped the sentiment, one from a PaperArtsy stamp set, with grey Ink. I didn´t want it to be too prominent, so I like how it turned out.

Under the face of my little lady I stamped this tinytiny stamp from Visible Image, it says: Be your own kind of beautiful. It is so, so tiny, that you have to know, that it is there ;-).

That´s it for today, I hope you feel inspired to participate in our challenge this month, you know, you have the chance to win a 20 £ voucher for the shop!

Thank you for you visit!
Have a wonderful week!
