How was your weekend? Hopefully filled with fun stuff! This past week I worked on another Journal page and I have to say..............this time I'm THRILLED with the outcome!!!!!!!! I definitely channeled some
Donna Downey with this page. I LOVE how vibrant it is!
I really had a lot of fun creating this page. I started by plopping down three colors on the left hand side of the page and then dragging it over to the right with an acetate sheet. Once dry - I painted the tree and branches - then channeled
Christy Tomlinson and randomly cut leaves from my American Crafts stash and decoupaged then on. I added Outline Rubber Stamps grass and Hero Arts flower and used a combination of Faber-Castell Big Brush markers and paint to color them in. Lastly - I took a Verve sentiment and PRAYED really hard that I'd get a great impression and not mess up the whole page!! LOL
I'm going to enter this page in the
Stampotique Designer's Challenge# 81 and the
Hero Arts "Try Something New" January Challenge
So, after finishing THIS page - my hopes for the journal are a bit higher than my first page - but there could be a fall from grace! :)
Have a great Monday!!!!!!
Thanks for your visit!
