Experimenting for the page...

So you may know that Art Journaling is based around trying out new techniques and simply having fun experiments on pages. But what if you used snippets of your experimentation on a layout? On this page below, I have played with different Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Paints & Stains on some Kraft tags, then laid them out as a background. It was great fun exploring the different properties of each, reacting with water, resisting each other and blending together. I stuck to the same 3-4 colours on each tag so that they still coordinated on the layout, but each one looks completely different, some subtle, some bold.

And here are a few snaps of the fun I was having playing :-)
