Chipboard Lock and key are embossed with black embossing powder. Sentiments are from Kaiser craft stamp set.

"Be Happy" - Art Journal Page

Hello Everyone,

Hero of today's art journal page is 'Owl' And it reads 'Be happy,it's another way of being wise'

This page is inspired by Andrea Gomoll's this art journal canvas. She is one of my favourite artist and her creativity always comes along with pleasant colors. Her intention was to create something with limited supplies(that is what she has shown in her tutorial), but somehow I ended up using lots for my this page...LOL
