Art Journal page using Poppy Meadow

My poor Art Journal was feeling neglected so I decided to Create a page in it to post today. I love making pages but I struggle with having ideas.

On this page, I decided to lay down masking tape and Create with it. I colored it with Gelatos in a cream color and add brown. Of course I then put White Gesso all over it to seal it. Took the cap from my Acrylic paint bottle and used it to put circles around the page. The Stamps I stamped on a old hymnal page and fussy cut out. I used Mod Podge to glue it down to the page and then sealed it on top with Mod Podge and colored with Gelatos in red and pink. The stamp set is from Indigo Blu and called "Poppy Meadow" I also added a design adhesive from Color box and added Perfect Pearls in Forever Red.
