It is an absolute age since I managed to join in with a
Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge... this week the challenge is "S" - which is a pretty free rein. Anything that starts with S...
I went for a page in my journal and started by '
Stencilling' archival inks to fill the page
I used aquamarine, '
Saffron' and vermillion. To blend the flowers into the background, I painted over the page with a watered down wash of Paperartsy Fresco paint in Honeydew (already a very pale yellowy colour) so I could
'Stamp' over the top.
I used my favourite Paperartsy '
Stamps' by Jo Firth-Young
and coloured them with distress markers.
Hope you like my '
Summer' page! As the quote says, "take time to smell the flowers".
Thanks to Simon Says as they are offering one random winner a $50 gift voucher.
