A highlight of my Wednesdays - apart from WOYWW of course - is Donna Downey's Inspiration Wednesday video/art journal.
This week it really "spoke" to me and I started this straight after I watched the video. I realised whilst watching it, that I had a Hero Arts jumbo cling stamp, solid and outline version that I could use...
It took me a while to finish it off, as I was struggling for some text/words to go on the page, but yesterday I settled for these by Wendy Vecchi.
I used dusty concord distress stain on the stamp before overstamping black archival.
the background is Paperartsy Limelight paint (lightly diluted) and the leaves 7 the border stamps are by Dyan Reaveley. Used portfolio pastels inside the leaves, whichI outlined with a new item that arrived yesterday - my white pen that actually shows up white.
Starting point, with some partially stamped images too.
The flash has caused over-exposure but the limelight paint looks more realistic here! I've been tweaking for days - tonight I used a circle stencil and the black portfolio pastel to add some dots!!
Now, I must away and play with something else new - my 7 Dots fab fab papers (from the Stamp Attic) oh and yes, Daniel's Hearts (Stampotique) blame Hels...!!
Thanks for looking.

What a lovely job you have made of these pages Helen. I love the big flowers.
One of my friends took the DD class at CHA - think it was Donna herself who taught but not sure - will check.
Take care
