A little art journaling, inspired by Anna's lovely images and Shakespeare... Two years ago, my One Little Word was "heart." Though I moved on to other words, each of them was still completely connected to the notion of "heart." This year's word is "tune" and so this art journaling is a bit more about tuning in to my heart - a little more, a little better.

"Go to your bosom: Knock there, and ask your heart what it doth know."

Process

The first element that grabbed my attention for this layout was Artstroke2 in APP Chatter as I just loved the circle with the drawn line moving toward it. Though I started with the gray paper from Chatter, I eventually moved to ArtsyPaper 3 which became my base. Since the artstroke and Overlay4 were both white, I changed their Blending Modes to Subtract and Exclusion, respectively, so they would show up on the lighter background of ArtsyPaper3. Added Overlay2 and set it's blending mode to Linear Burn. Next, I added JazzedUp LoopDaLoop2_3 which has a beautiful glow in it and set it's blending mode to Color Burn. I loved the little heart echo shape in the loop. Added the heart button from Chatter, and eventually settled on it sort of orbiting the heart region of the layout. Lastly, I added LoveGlows1_2 and set it's blending mode to Pin Light.

Thanks so much for looking!
