I am creating in my art journal in this video and to start out I have applied background paper to the pages. It is a great way to use up patterned paper that you may have and you can add them to blank pages for use at a later time.
I am also going to be adding some marks and texture to the page and just allow myself to enjoy the process in the art journal.
Let me know what your favourite supplies that you like using in your art journal and it would be great to see some examples
