Color.

“Without black, no color has any depth. But if you mix black with everything, suddenly there’s shadow – no, not just shadow, but fullness. You’ve got to be willing to mix black into your palette if you want to create something that’s real.” ~Amy Grant

I created three art journal pages, they are 9 3/4 ” x 6 3/4 ” (24 x 17 cm) each.

My Inspiration was Journey Jump Off's by Cristy Riopel  from the "Creating Scrapbooking" Magazine, Summer 2015.
What a talented artist, who has unfortunately passed away in August 2016.

Supplies: 

Hint: I pour my mists into smaller spray bottles which I get from the Dollar-stores and dilute them with Isopropyl alcohol.
Even though it has very little alcohol, work in a well ventilated area.
