Layering stickers + stamps
I was VERY uncertain about this spread as I was making it, but I love how it turned out! I'm glad I pushed through my uncertainty and kept going. I learned some things that will help next time!
✨ Unifying elements: the washi tape across the top gave the spread cohesion
✨ Textures: a bit of visual interest was added through layering textures so it wasn't all flat stamps
✨ Pops of color: sticking to a monochrome palette with a bit of color made it look less busy
✨ Depth: using the stamps to create a Scene rather than one ribbon of stamps helped a lot
✨ Similar sizes: I tried to vaguely mirror the size of stamps across the page for cohesion without needing to be matchy matchy
And lastly
✨ Vibes ✨
The space ephemera created a delightful celestial witchy vibe that the mushrooms and trees wouldn't have on their own and I love it!
What do you think? Did I go too hard??

Layering stickers and stamps can truly transform your art journal into a personalized masterpiece. When working on your spread, consider the balance of colors and textures to enhance visual interest. Using washi tape not only adds cohesion but can help create a unifying theme throughout your layout. Explore varying sizes of stamps to establish depth, allowing elements to interact rather than flattening the design. Sticking to a monochrome palette with small pops of color can help maintain a clean look without overwhelming the viewer. Incorporate different textures to add dimension and tactile appeal to your pages. Don't forget the mood you wish to convey! Infusing elements like celestial vibes with themed stickers can greatly influence the overall aesthetic of your journal. Be free to experiment; there’s no right or wrong way to express your creativity. Enjoy the process, learn from your missteps, and create unique art that reflects your style!
