Be more amazing than Yesterday!

 Hello everyone!

Happy Friday!

A fun-filled mixed media Art Journal page in a trio of colours- Lavender, blue and green!

"Life is all about making yourself better than yesterday!"

You should consider only yourself as your competition. Learning new things every day, and getting wiser, stronger and a better human being is all you should strive for. It's all up to you!


I started with a decoupage napkin, and cut and paste them on all sides according to my need.


And then applied some gelatos shown in the pic.


Added some old newspaper script stamping using archival inks.


Using unicorn dreams texture paste through butterflies and brick stencil gave the page some dimensions and more interest. Love the results!


Then die cut some ornate ovals and doilies. Placed the main featured girl in the centre of the page as shown in the below pic. Added some transfer stickers. Added some flowers.



Some close-ups:




Added some splatters in white with sentiment stickers and butterflies.




Here is the final come out! Hoping you enjoyed the process.

Happy crafting!
