hey friends elizabeth here from plant based bride back again with another video today i'm setting
up my husband's bullet journal for june with a very simple minimalist theme june is a very busy
month for my family we have so much going on so i really wanted to keep this set up very simple very
practical but still have that little bit of visual interest a little bit of an artistic element so
this whole theme was inspired by a piece of art that i found on pinterest which showed stairs
going up through an archway into what appeared to be a portal and i've seen different variations of
this style of artwork before and i always enjoyed it i always felt like it really sparked my
imagination so i decided to create two of these portals opposite each other for the cover page
one is a portal leading into a bright beautiful daytime and the other is a portal leading out into
a clear night so some mirroring here as well as some contrast from the day to night and i created
this whole theme using a single secure micron the zero five nib and two colors of archer and olive
acrylographs a yellow and a blue as always all of the supplies i'm using will be linked in the
description box down below so check that out if you're looking for anything in particular
i'm starting with all of the basic line work for this cover page and then going in and filling in
my colors the yellow and the blue in my two different portals and then also filling in
my lettering when i started this i was planning on leaving my lettering just an outline but once
i finished with the rest of the spread i just felt like the lettering looked unfinished and i decided
to fill it in and i'm very glad i did because i think the simple black text the slightly bolder
effect balances out this spread better than the outline did the fun thing about
these portal style drawings is that you could literally draw anything on the interior of the
portal it could be a rainbow on the other side it could be a salvador dali painting
it could be an astronaut in outer space your options are only limited by your imagination
so
flipping to the next spread which is going to be his june calendar giving him a nice big two-page
spread so he can really plan out everything that's happening this month starting again with
all of my basic inking getting all of the details roughed in before adding the more artistic element
so
for this spread i wanted to continue on with my color scheme of black and white
and yellow and blue and i wanted to continue on with that very simple minimalist art style so for
the calendar spread i decided to utilize the boxes that i normally just wouldn't draw because they're
not used for the days in june to create five sequential images of a sun rising and then setting
over an ocean so drawing very simple wavy lines with my blue acrylic graph to represent the ocean
changing it slightly from one square to the next so it appears like the ocean is moving with the
waves and then creating a sun that starts just coming up over the waves and then a little higher
and then reaches its peak and descends again you could easily create these kinds of sequential
pains in a bunch of different circumstances over a desert over mountains over an ocean as i did
and this can be a really simple but fun way to add a little bit of detail to a calendar spread
flipping over to the final spread of the setup the first page of my husband's notes pages
where he jots down everything he needs to keep track of daily to-do lists notes from meetings
things to follow up on etc again adding just a little bit of visual interest with very simple
drawings so for this bread tying together elements from the first and second spreads
i'm creating a moon that is just above the water so you can see the rippled reflection
in the water just using my yellow acrylograph for this
and then adding a couple little stars on the other side of the notes header just to finish this off
and that's it for this very simple setup i'll do a quick flip through for you so you can see all
of the spreads this one was really fun to do very simple but very aesthetically pleasing at least
for me i really love this color scheme of a darker more mustard yellow and then a nice desaturated
blue just such a perfect combination and i can't wait as always to see your interpretations of
this theme if you decide to recreate it if you're inspired by it as always tag me over on instagram
