Nutty! Art Journal Page

This journal page was inspired by the week 16 challenge on The Documented Life Project:  add a cardboard food box in a creative way.


I started by adhering some paper scraps from recent projects (which killed two birds with one stone: cleaning up my craft table AND hiding some obnoxious orange paint already on the page.  I had such high hopes for that orange background, as you can tell from this post.  But it's been over a year and it still wasn't speaking to me, so the orange had to go!).  I added a layer of white gesso over the paper scraps, then went to the recycling bin and pulled out a Little Debbie Nutty Bars box I had thrown in earlier.  You can probably figure out which rabbit hole I fell down after that.

Thanks for popping by!  Have a fabulous day.

Supplies:
Strathmore 5.5 x 8 Visual Journal (Mixed Media); Liquitex Basics acrylic paint; gesso; paper scraps; Sharpie Paint Pens; letter stickers; stencil; vintage dictionary page; punchinella; Nutty Bars box.
