Spread Your Wings and WINNERS!!

Happy Monday and first day of April!! I hope you had a wonderful Easter!! It was a beautiful weekend here - sunny and in the 50's. The Daffodils are blooming...I finally feel like spring is here!! And speaking of spring, my niece and step-niece are coming to stay with me this week for their spring break, so I won't be around very much. I have some DT commitments set to auto-post. I will stop by your blogs when they leave :)


I have another journal page to share with you today. I have been experimenting with different techniques and having so much fun. The pictures don't really show all of the details of the background. Someday, I'm going to splurge and get a video camera...it would be easier than trying to explain the steps :)


I started by adding papers from DCWV's Music stack, adhered with Claudine Hellmuth's Matte Multi Medium. Then a wash of white acrylic paint and water was brushed over the papers. Next was a layer of peach acrylic paint, spread with a credit card. Once that was dry, sea glass acrylic paint was added. The peach paint was brushed over bubble wrap and stamped on the background. Several TH stamps from the Ultimate Grunge, Psychedelic Grunge and Slight Alterations sets were stamped with Antique Linen, Old Paper, Brushed Sage and Dried Marigold Distress Inks, as well as white acrylic paint. The letters are from TH's Word Play die, cut on Grungepaper and painted with peach, sea glass and white acrylic paint. They were then stamped with the French script stamp from Darkroom Door. I love this stamp - it's really large so you can cover a lot of area at once. The edges of the page, the letters and wings were outlined with charcoal and a white Sakura Gelly Roll pen.


The wings are a TH Layered Wings die cut with Grungepaper. The bottom layer was covered with sea glass acrylic paint, the next layer peach and the top white. They were then stamped with the same Darkroom Door French script stamp with Ranger Jet Black Archival Ink. The butterflies are from the TH Shabby French stamp set.

I am entering this in the following challenges:
  1. Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
  2. Simon Says Stamp and Show - Anything Goes
And now for the WINNERS!! I should have announced my blog hop winners sooner, and I apologize. First, the Spring Blog Hop. Up for grabs was a 6x6 MME Blink of an Eye paper pad:

Wonderful journal. Brings back memories of the journal I made when I took the Tim Holtz Altered Journal class. Have fun during Spring Break. My daughter did not come home for Spring Break which was 2 wks ago for her college. She emailed me my Easter present, Captain Jack Sparrow artwork which I'll be making a card or scrapbook with soon for all to see. Congrats to the winners.
