Do you remember my video on Sunday when I talked about, and showed you, an unintentional art journal page? Well today I have the companion piece to that one, but this one is an intentional art piece, in fact that is what I decided to call it, 'Intentional'.

More acrylic paint leaves for you today and a video of my latest Junk Journal experiments. For this video I've been playing around with painting acrylic paint leaves using those wonderful iridescent Pebeo paints that I am totally hooked on at the moment.

It's art journal time! I thought I would change pace today, well it is Sunday after all, and share an art journal page process video.
