Art Journal Celebration

This prompt from UKS was linked to the wedding festivities and I seemed to deviate from the prompts which asked us to celebrate one event, use the letters RSVP and some sparkle. This time of year is tough for me as I lost my dad six years ago and my brother three years ago. This year I have been working on a positive approach and thinking about this prompt made me realise that I now try to celebrate life and live each day as it comes as we never know what might happen. It all began with a promo postcard I picked up in Fat face.
I just had to alter it a little.

I used Dylusions acyrlic paints in red and blue to extend the flag and then layered a coat of sparkly blue and white thinly over the top with some glass beads. I did stamp and emboss the hearts but they got lost under the paint layers.
The heart stamp on the postcard section was a freebie from Cards and stamping weekend. I wrote the word Life with glue and then added Martha Stewart vintage glitter over the top before adding my journalling.

  2. This is great, Love the background. I am so far behind in my pages, need to catch up soon. I agree with your thought of living each day with a positive approach. Life can be too short sometimes. Take care and have a good day. Angela
