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.

Journal page - Cone Flowers - LIVE STREAM

Hi everyone!

For today's live YouTube stream we created a journal page in my 8"x5 1/2" bee creative watercolor journal.

I wanted to test out the NeoColor II's, Gelatos, Scribble Sticks and Distress Crayons, activating with both water and white gesso. I really love the soft effect this technique gives.

But knowing me, you don't really see much of the background on the completed page with all the added layers. Oh well!
