When I saw the new challenge theme over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog, I knew right away that I wanted to play along. I've never won this challenge, but I still love to play along. And since I haven't done an Art Journal page in quite some time, I thought it was a great idea. This is what I created to share with you today.
I inked and painted my journal page using Fossilized Amber and Lemonade Tim Holtz Oxide Inks. My attachment started with black cardstock. Next. I used watercolor paper to rub with oxide inks, stamp with a Tim Holtz background image stamp, and then stencil with Lavendar ink-tinted Heavy Gesso. I layered together the extra banner strip using 3-D foam tape.
There are a few Lemon floral prills on my card, some scraps of canvas material that I machine stitched, some little black sentiment stickers from my stash, a Prima metal butterfly clip, and I used some Making Memories white rub-ons and another sticker that are old stash items.
I don't always get to play along in this fun challenge, so I'm really excited to share this in the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. I hope to share it in a few challenges where it will qualify. I had a lot of fun making this Art Journal page. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. Have a wonderfully creative week, everyone. Thanks again for your visit.
