Possibility, Imagination - Art Journal Page

Aren't these colours gorgeous?  I got a few new products and had to try them out - Dylusions Shimmer Spray and Distress Oxide Ink :)

Like Father Like Son - 6 x 6 layout

It's very rare I get pics of these two together :)  I created a 6 x 6 layout using Basic Grey's Oliver paper and brads.  I haven't used brads in ages!!  The arrow sticker is from CTMH.  I loved using letter stickers for the title - something I don't think of often.

You're The Best - 6 x 6 layout

I'm really a fan of making these 6 x 6 layouts, especially when I'm feeling restless and want to create but don't have much time, just want to get something done.  Know what I mean?

I punched 2 different sized circles from the main page then backed the spaces with patterned papers all from Amy Tangerine.  I used a Vicki Boutin stamp for the title and added faux stitching around the circles.

I love the look of the layered photo.  Of course I had to add splatters of Heidi Swapp's Gold Colour Shine.

Find Strength Within - Tag

A tag I made for a close crafty friend after learning of her breast cancer diagnosis.  I recall seeing something similar to this but can't remember the inspiration.  

Using distress inks and a mister I created this background on a manila tag and stamped some flourishes in the darker ink.  The flowers were stamped in black.

I coated everything with a thick layer of distress crackle paint and waited for the magic to happen!!

I stamped a die cut a butterfly on grunge paper and coloured it in with distress ink, attached some word stickers and adhered the tag to a black background.
