Art Supplies
Let's take a look at this month's art journal challenge! We have
simplified the challenges this year and the challenge no longer has two
parts. Instead we have one main theme to inspire you and this month it's
all about ART SUPPLIES. Feel free to interpret the theme in any way that
speaks to you!

I used Palette Collage Paper by Tim and Brushes and Carte Postale stamp sets by AALL & CREATE to make this Art Journal page. I always think there is no right or wrong in art, just "Express yourself with art".

Oh art supplies how do I love thee! This was a tricky challenge for me simply because I couldn't decide what art supplies to use for it haha. In the end I chose my beloved Neocolour IIs to create a colourful swatch background around a drawing of a whimsical girl inspired by those in Jane Davenport's drawing books. Jane herself is a huge lover of art supplies and often claims to have "rainbow-itis" and has to have one in every colour. So in honour of Jane, I used lots of colour and also one of her stickers which reads "there is no such thing as too many supplies". This is such a fun challenge for playing with and experimenting with some of your own art supplies. I'm already itching to pull out more supplies and make more pages!

This challenge was a no-brainer for me! "I love ArtStacks" (Eye heart ArtStacks) pulls together multiple ArtStacks images and papers from a range of packs.
The translucent paper on the background is a fave!

Hello, my name is Heidi and I'm addicted to art supplies...
This was a fun page to make. I collaged some papers for the background and then added some pink distress inks and stenciling. I glued the girl image, shopping bag and title, then finished with some doodles. I created the art supplies out of toothpicks and rolled paper

Seeing the theme of this month it was obvious for me to present to you "my essentials".
I made my background with spray inks and created my montage with the masking technique to avoid having too much thickness on my page. I coloured in with my alcohol inks.

My favourite art supplies are first of all stamps and stencils. I love using distress inks, sprays and texture paste as well. They always look great together. And I agree with the statement - "the world of imagination is boundless". You could have only a few art supplies and create something really beautiful.

This month, I wanted to bring together my favorite arts supplies. So I used my favorite brayer, distress oxides, stencils and stamps. Choosing was not easy! When you are a real art lover, all your art supplies are essential!

I loved creating this art journal page about color because without it, there would be no art! I loved using my favorite art supplies: stencils, inks, stamps, stickers and die cut ephemera! And I especially liked creating with my favorite ArtStacks images from Tamara Laporte's Artist Series packs.

For this challenge I was inspired to use my happy colours and my favourite art supplies. I’ve poured love for mixed media art journaling on this page! With rich layers, textures and vibrant colours, this sure shouts my happy place.
