Fall Art Journal Page

For my Early Christmas Giveaway, click HERE

Happy Monday!! This is a scheduled post, so I'm hoping everything works :) I have a fall journal page to share with you today.

It's been a while since I did this so I don't remember all of the items I used. The background was spritzed with water and then Dylusions sprays in Squeezed Orange, Pure Sunshine,Cherry Pie, Postbox Red and Back Marble. Crafter's Workshop Harlequin, Chevron and Numbers stencils were used with both sprays and water for a ghosting effect. The leaves are from the Dylusions Further Around the Block stamp set. They were colored in with several Dylusions sprays that were added to water brushes. They were outlined with a white Sakura Gelly Roll pen. Stamps from Paper Wings Productions Art Textures were stamped on the background with Wendy Vecchi Archival Inks in Potting Soil, Geranium and Orange Blossom. The text stamp is from the Tim Holtz Apothecary set. The birds are from Dylusions Birds on a Wire stamp set. The bottom border is from Dylusions Further Around the Block and colored in with Dylusions inks in water brushes.

The girl's head is from Dylusions Traveling Travis stamp set, and her body from Tallulah Tripp. She was colored in with Tim Holtz Distress Markers and a TH water brush. She was outlined with charcoal.

The sentiment is from Dylusions The Right words stamp set. It was outlined with charcoal.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Remember, if you comment on my scheduled posts, you increase your chance of winning a set of Tim Holtz stamps and a My Mind's Eye paper stack!! Have a great day :)

Little Scrap Pieces Fun Friday - May Flowers

Happy Friday!! I can't believe how fast this week went by. I hope you have fun plans for the weekend!! It's chilly and rainy here today...all part of the April showers that bring...May flowers. And that's the theme for this week's Fun Friday Challenge at Little Scrap Pieces. We want to see you use a flower on your project. Our sponsor this week is our super-talented and super-sweet design team sister Sherrie of Sherrie Scraps With Passion :)

Last week I created one side of a journal page for the April Showers page, so I thought I'd do the other side for May Flowers :)

The base is heavyweight watercolor paper from Strathmore. It was spritzed with Dylusions inks in Calypso Teal, Vibrant Turquoise, Fresh Lime and Cut Grass. A Crafter's Workshop Cosmic Swirls stencil was placed over the top and sprayed with London Blue Dylusions Inks. A CW Bricks stencil was placed on the bottom and spritzed with Postbox Red. The bricks were outlined with Derwent charcoal and then highlighted with white charcoal. The sun is a stamp from Beeswax, stamped with yellow acrylic paint.  The letters were cut with a Tim Holtz Wanted die from scrap watercolor paper. They were outlined with charcoal, as were the edges of the page. The flowers are a Dylusions Background Love stamp, colored in with Tim Holtz Waterbrushes filled with Dylusions inks, and then outlined with Sakura Gelly Roll pens in white and black. The girl is a Dylusions Annie stencil, colored in with black acrylic ink. She was stamped with the script stamp from the Tim Holtz Mini Ornates set in white acrylic ink. She was outlined with white and gray charcoal.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. Simon Says Stamp - April Showers or Spring Flowers
