Hi everyone!

I wanted to play with my distress inks today because ever since I've bought the distress oxide inks I have ignored them completely! I wanted to see how a large background would look using just distress inks. So I really had fun creating the background and it looked so soft that angels and mermaids came to mind. I knew I had a mermaid stencil - just one, and I knew I had either stamps or stencils with wings, hence the mer-angel!

Then I had to go and use embossing powder, didn't I! I curse the mess every time I use it but never remember until it's too late and I have a huge mess of embossing powder everywhere! Just as well the end result is worth it LOL.

Hi everyone!

Today's page was all about using up the leftover paint from my previous page.

All I did was dry brushed the remaining paint onto a lightly gessoed page, then stamped an image and doodled with black & white!

This is a great way to achieve a page with very little effort, especially when creativity isn't being your friend.

Hi everyone!

For today's page I wanted to get back to what I do best (in my humble opinion LOL). I love to create backgrounds but I can't just leave it there. So I think about what the background means to me and I search related images on google. Or I search google first, then base the background on the image. That's what I did today, googled the image first and I'm happy with how it turned out!
