This tutorial shows the essentials of how I created this art journal page taking a step-by-step approach that I used using white gesso, a marker pen, a napkin (from my dear friend, Erika), matte gel medium, inks, ephemera, glue tape, Thinlits die cuts, Liquitex acrylic inks and a gel pen.

Taking pride of place on our dining room table is this fabulous sign that we bought from a local home store, we just couldn’t resist (smile!).

As T Stands For Tuesday, I’m sharing this Hello Pumpkin mug that we saw in the same local home store which I just managed to resist buying (smile!) – wishing you all a very Happy T Day!
