Holiday Ornament Layout: Abstract Shapes & Golden Accents | Day 10 of Artful Holiday
In Day 10 of the Art Advent Calendar, we create a calming, holiday-inspired layout in my handmade watercolor journal. Join me as I layer abstract ornaments, add golden stars with stencil work, and decorate each ornament with unique, festive mark-making. This mindful, relaxing project is perfect for filling a journal page with holiday cheer, allowing for creative expression and a touch of sparkle. Grab your paints, stencils, and gold accents to bring these abstract ornaments to life!
