The Second Floor Challenge #2

Before I start I want to encourage anyone who is looking to step outside of their comfort zone to check out this new class that Catherine Matthews Scanlon is teaching at My Creative Classroom, starting May 4th. Check it out JOURNAL2ART  :)

I want to take a quick moment to thank Julie Fei-Fan Balzer & Nathalie Kalbach for creating this challenge. I highly recommend that you get involved. Here is my Challenge #2...the task was to create with something new. 

This is just a page of different types of doodles using Faber-Cstell Pitt Artist Pen {my favorite pen}. I wanted to experiment with my brand new box of Caran D'Arche NeoColor II Artist crayons.

Here is the finished {or I thought} page. I loved working with this form of water color and loved how I was able to pull the color out do some shading. When I looked at it I felt it look just BLAH! First I didn't feel that it combined well...looked to random. So my attempt to join several different doodles was not appealing to my eye! Of course I'm a true believer in the philosophy"MORE is always BETTER."

So out came  Jacquard PearlEx pigments, Distress Stickles, Glossy Accents, Tattered Angels Chalkboard Glimmer Mist in Charcoal and Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam in Stiletto. And I started playing with these products. Of course you can't see the final effects but they are there. I'm not sure if I even like it but I LOVED the process.


I would love to know what you thing...thanks for stopping by.

Have a fabulous creative day!
