Get Messy | an art journal challenge no. 005

Get Messy Thursdays are such a nice part of my week.

Be vulnerable.

I kept things simple again this week.

I made this page as a reminder to myself to be open and vulnerable, even if it means getting hurt. Although walls may be easy to build, they become difficult to tear down. So this is my note to self not to build those walls in the first place.

On a random side note, I’m learning that I really like using vellum and that patterned paper from Crate Paper’s Notes & Things collection.

Remember this.

I saved this sprig of baby’s breath for a couple of weeks and finally decided to use it this week. I kept the page light and airy with some splatters of mist, washi tape, and a Heidi Swapp “Remember this” stamp.

I quite liked the right-hand page this week, but I’m definitely seeing myself getting into a pattern with the supplies that I use on my art journal pages. I’ll need some inspiration to switch things up soon!

Get Messy is an art journal challenge where a gang of crafty vixens are sharing art journal pages we have created to practise our skills and push past our creative limits with hopes to inspire. We share our pages without restraint every week, and once a month we create around a prompt. Go check out these crazy talented ladies who are creating pages who each have a unique perspective and style. We will be sharing our work around social media so follow the hashtag #getmessyartjournal.
