Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away. I have a combo creation - journal page and card. On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso. I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps. Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it (seriously). The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso. Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off. I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be). The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page. I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day....
These are all so stunning! Hope you are having a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for letting me know that I am not alone...LOL!
You did some gorgeous "playing". Each of them is just stunning. I adore "scene" cards. Hope you get to play again soon.
