April Mid Month Mini Mission: Inspiration

I love the freedom that comes from interpreting song lyrics for art journal pages. Sometimes you can be literal or as abstract as you please in your representation of the lyrics of the song. In this case, it was all about using materials and techniques I haven’t used before or colours and layers that I don’t normally do! Perfect for this month’s challenge on our Mission: Inspiration Facebook Group! To watch how I created the page above – click the YouTube link below!
