Happy Monday!  I hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day.  I myself took full advantage of the day and lolled around when I wasn’t in the studio.  We did our Mother’s Day dinner on Saturday because Kate had a senior trip to chaperone and we wanted to make sure we were all together.

After reading some of the comments left on the eP Blog the other day about my last project, I decided to bite the bullet and pull out my Dylusions Art Journal.  I have to admit that once I got started (after watching a few videos) it wasn’t as frightening as I thought.

As I looked around the studio for different stencils, a wild hair hit me and I decided to try Spellbinders™ Grand Impressabilities™ to see what type of results I would get.

In the above photo you can see where I used Butterfly Garden in the upper right and in the center is the stencil I made the other day with Grateful Lattice.  When using the Grand Impressabilities, I simply laid the template on the page and misted over it.

The flowers were stamped first, water colored with reinkers and then embossed using my VersaMarker.  Distress Paints in Bundled Sage, Broken China and Wild Honey were used for the background.  Splatters were made with Chipped Sapphire and Seedless Preserves.

In this corner I used Spellbinders Fancy Flourish as my stencil and Tumbled Glass Reinker was mixed with water as my mist.  The sentiment was made on the computer and then printed out on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White.  Once trimmed, the edges were sponged with Antique Linen Distress Ink.

Now that I have my first page under my belt . .  . I might have to try more!

Thanks for stopping by today!
