Jan. 18: Art Journal (Style Challenge)

I just saw this and then your post explaining that gesso is white paint. I didn't know and did a search in the store and saw it looked like paint, so I just used paint. I hope you're not going to disqualify my layout because I didn't use something officially called gesso . . . ? I don't understand how it's different than paint. You can see my layout in the previous post or maybe a few up if some new ones have posted.
I couldn't tell much of a difference either, but I did a "ctl find" and did find a gesso in my stash - but it went on the page looking just like the items called paint. :( LOL
 
Well you know Lili you took me out of my zone of comfort... I guess I only do art journal for challenges :-)
But anyway I really love the way my tayout turn and hope I haven't miss any required elements
Thanks a lot for the challenge @MrsPeel

Gesso IS paint, so that is perfectly fine. It's just THICKER paint, so you could add a TINY bit of a shadow if you wanted.
 
I seriously want poster sizes of every single one of these layouts to hang all over my house. When I look at them they make me so happy. :bunny
 
I love Art Journaling, but haven't done it in awhile. So glad to be able to have an excuse to play! lol
 
I struggled with this all day. It is so out of my comfort zone. Second guessed myself on everything. I believe I have all the required elements but if it does not fit the challenge-- can you please let me know and I'll try again. Thank you!

After the pressure of having to complete the challenge was over, I sat down to try again, I didn't feel like I challenged myself the first time so I came up with this on the second try. Still out of my comfort zone but I think closer to the actual challenge.
