Over the last few days when I've been doing this and that for various Paperartsy challenges, I sploshed any leftover paint on my journal.... one was greeny pink (although it was actually blood orange with snowflake over the top) and one orangey-brown after the Michelle inspired frame...
Anyhow here they are, considerably messed about with!
I love how the brown outline round the pinky/white looks like a boot!
I fell in love with the criss-cross thing that Michelle used so had to add it to the journal too.
added some circles (using a film canister) in French Roast and the butterfly swirly stamp is one of the bargain £1 stamps I got at Stamperama.
Added some more white criss crossing over the top and some grunge paste through the Roman Numerals stencil
I added Squid Ink with the back of some cut and dry foam. over the grunge paste, and when it was dry, sanded it back like in Leandra's video tonight.
I also added some white dots of Snowflake with the end of a pencil.
Finally I had to add some words, these are stamps by Dylusions, on thin white card.
Because it's too dark to take pictures without flash I can't get decent close ups of the sanded back grunge paste which is a pain!
Hoping this counts as an inspired by
Paperartsy piece for this week's challenge.

Excellent Helen, I'm so loving the look of all the techniques incorporated into your journal pages. Thanks as always for joining in the PA fun x
It's amazing how "mopping up" can end up as such gorgeous art! Love your pages!
You've done an amazing job with your pages. I have loads of backgrounds from other stamping & swooshing times, might just go and play with them again :-)
I'm having a devil of a time trying to leave a comment. Blogger must hate me tonight.
I always love mop-up pages because they are always so serendipitous. You never get the effect if you try to make it happen. I love these pages. That new butterfly stamp was a real bargain and fit nicely with the pages. Very nicely done.
What fabulous effects from left over paints Helen, it's created a really dreamy effect.
Good start yesterday, let's hope it continues.
Hope you have a good Sunday,

i'm no judge but I'd say this qualifies as inspired by Paperartsy! Love the white criss cross and the pencil dots....girl, all your stamps and you're using film canisters, foam and pencil ends!!
Oh fabulous, I've managed two - yes I shall repeat that, two pages recently!
Brilliant pages - love all the movement and life - wow!

Fab page Helen! Love those colours! x
More fab pages to your journal Helen! I love how you pull everything together from bit you've done throughout the week. Wish I could be disciplined enough to start a journal let alone keep one going like you.
Hugs
