My background was inspired by Trish Latimer's smeared background video. I really wanted to try that after I saw it and promptly got very painty fingers as I smooshed paint around the pages. After the paint dried I stenciled and stamped to my heart's content.
In addition to acrylics I used some dye ink (had to heat set them over the acrylic background), Distress inks, washi tape, stamping over phone book pages that I had used when spraying inks, and a paint pen.
I love this quote stamp. It appeals to my sense of whimsy.
In addition to the SDC I'm adding this to
Unruly Paper Arts March challenge - greens (I've got those in spades here!)
Mixed Media World 'Anything Goes' challenge
Craft Stamper Magazine 'Anything Goes - take a Stamp' challenge
Thanks for peeking in!
Love your vivid pages.
ReplyDeleteBoth Jasmine and the quote are on my wish list, the quote reminds me of the writings of The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

ReplyDeleteAn absolutely stunning journal page. I love the bold colors, the image of the young woman at the bottom of the page is perfect and I love the quote. I have never heard it before and will have to keep that one in mind. I think I will use it in one of my own journal pages.
