Oh how I love to try new things! How I love something that pushes me to think differently a bout supplies or the way I work. The ever inspiring Julia has offered us the chance to do just that with her now class at Get Messy: Pen + Ink. You are in for a treat when you take this class!

It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Jules’s style. She is the whole reason I decided to embark on the My Day Arted project. I just love the way she uses colours and lines and patterns in her art journaling. The best part? This class uses supplies you already have or can get for a pretty good price.

As soon as I got the class, I went through a couple of the lessons. I immediately pressed pause and had to try out all the techniques. I am especially mesmerized by the interaction between ink and water. So I started with that.

 I used a mix of felt tips and inks on the paper strips below, Aren’t these colours so vibrant? Don’t they give you so much energy? I also wasn’t expecting to fall for colour in this way!

I invite you to check out Pen + Ink here, at 25$ it’s a total steal. You will not regret it.
