For my project, I created another journal page :) The owl is a Spellbinders Nested Owls die, cut three and pieced together with two of the cuts. The third was used as a base with foam tape between the layers for dimension. The paper is from Prima Marketing's Doodle Deux paper stack. The branches are Spellbinders Cherry Blossoms dies. The flowers were inked with Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet Distress Ink and adorned with crystal gems. The branches and owl were adhered with Claudine Hellmuth Multi-Medium.

The base is heavyweight Strathmore watercolor paper. It was painted with a coat of gesso, and then acrylic paints in sky blue, soft apple and ballet pink. Bubblegum pink acrylic paint was brushed onto bubble wrap and stamped on the canvas. TH Peacock Feathers Distress Ink was sponged through a Crafter's Workshop Harlequin stencil, Bundled Sage through a CW Tile stencil, and Spun Sugar through a Dylusions Dotted Flowers stencil. Wendy Vecchi Embossing Paste was used through a CW Punchinella stencil. Victorian Velvet was sponged through a CW Branches stencil. The flowers along the bottom are from the Dylusions How Does Your Garden Grow stamp set and colored in with Funky Fushia, London Blue, Dirty Martini and Fresh Lime Dylusions sprays with waterbrushes. The script text stamp from the Tim Holtz Mini Ornates set was randomly stamped with Antique Linen Distress Ink. The sentiment is from Dylusions Quintessential Quotes stamp set. The sentiment and the edges of the paper were shaded with charcoal.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. Simon Says Stamp and Show - Water (watercolor paper, waterbrushes)
2. DL.Art - March Linky Party
