Good day, everyone.
Today I'd like to share another layout from my art journal with you.  This one is centered on the Mystic Maidens printable ephemera that I sell in my shop.  I really like how these turned out and knew I wanted to make an entire layout out of them.  If this is of interest to you, I hope you will continue reading.

Mystic Maidens Art Journal Layout

To create this layout I used:

Printable Mystic Maidens Ephemera Cards

Printable I am Affirmations ephemera words

Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist

Curious Glimmer Mist

Watercolor paintbrush, honestly any paintbrush will do.

Random mix of paper ephemera, dried teabags, and washi tape 

Elmer's Craft Bond Glue Stick

 

This layout was inspired from a single piece of crinkled metallic paper that was sent to me in some happy mail.  As soon as I saw that blue I knew it would match my Mystic Maidens and I just had to make this layout.  So first thing I did was pick out what 2 cards I wanted to use from the Mystic Maiden ephemera cards.  

 

After selecting the ephemera cards, I moved on to the paper ephemera and began gluing the pieces down.  Many of them were glued down upside down.  I wanted the focus to be on the Mystic Maidens rather than the words.

Then I started ripping the crinkle paper and gluing it down, followed by some washi tape and the dried teabags.  I was drawn to these teabags because they were round and reminded me of the full moon that appeared on both of the ephemera cards I chose. 

Next, I rounded the corners of the ephemera cards and glued them to each of the pages, followed by the "I AM Bright" and "I AM Effervescent" ephemera words.

 

 

Finally, I took the glimmer mists and removed the bottles' spay tops.  I dipped the paintbrush into the bottle and randomly painted on each of the pages.  I was really impressed with how well the "Curious" glimmer mist matched the metallic paper.  You couldn't really see it when painting with the "Dazzling Diamonds" glimmer mist.  So I put the spay top back on the bottle and spayed both pages...because we can never have enough glimmer mist.
