What's under your bed? Journal page

Well I have finally stared an art journal after much persuasion from the bears at the house of bears blog, follow link to the right to see their blog --->
Here is my very first page, had great fun with this. Had a few moments where my brain tried butting in but was given good advise from the bears. If your brain starts working just grab something (stamp, inks, mists) and add them to the page!
So here it is, What's under your bed? I won the cute and quirky monster stamp from eBay and thought he would be perfect for this. It's based on the stage when you are too scared to look under the bed for what might be lurking under!








I used acrylic paints including gesso, inks, mod podge, tissue paper. Mesh, recycled images, masks.
Great fun! Looking forward to more pages!

  1. We loved watching you create this page, and the surprise additions really finish it off. Love the way the mod podge has disappeared into the page to leave the letters prominently in the middle.

    Looking forward to seeing more of your journal pages soon, oh, and we have a monster page to do in our journal some time.

    Thanks for all the inspawration today.

  2. This is a great page Lauren, love the colours and the background. Great idea for a journal entry, think we've all had monster under the bed moments. X
