Life is like...

Hi everyone!
I had some time to play with my Art Journal during the week.
Created the background using water soluble oil pastels. For the leaf I used Zentangle technique, something new for me, but really fun.
Then I used Perfect Pearls Mist over the entire page. Stamped some detail and used perfect pearls to add details.

Details:
Hope you like it!!!
I would like to enter this piece in the following challenges:

Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 101 - Day 0ne!

Hi everyone!
The past two weeks have been so much fun, yeap, you guessed it I'm taking Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 101 Class.
I've learned so much, some of the techniques I already used, but the tips and tricks are great and help improve the quality of the finished product.
One of the things I like the most is the many uses that you can give to a specific product.
Each day, for the past ten days we have been studying the products, their different qualities and of course new and innovative ways to use them.
I must say that my perspective about color and texture has changed and grown in ways I can not explain.
Day one was the only day that we didn't create a technique featuring a specific technique, this was the day to get to know the basics of color, translucent and opaque, intensity, etc.
Doesn't sound fun, but I can tell you that it felt like when they gave you that first box of crayons, your eyes open to so many possibilities and options.
I will present my sample tags for Day 2 through Day 10 in different short posts. It is important to understand that this are samples for each technique, not completed projects, Althought I might say they are pretty little pieces of art.
Follow the links for my posted samples:
Thanks!
Love,
Julia
