simon says stamp monday challenge: art journal

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for playing along with us last week in the Food/Drink challenge and we hope you will join us again this week too 🙂 This week our challenge is Art Journaling, something I don’t get to spend nearly enough time on! 

I had a few new supplies I wanted to play with including these gorgeous new So Many Butterflies dies that were designed by the amazing Bibi Cameron. I cut a few of them using some gelli prints I had made a while back and new that one would be the perfect focal point for my small Dina Wakley journal. 

I colored my page with the newest paint colors from the Dina Wakley Media line, Sage and Syrup. Then I added Distress Texture Paste through the Layering Heart Mandala Stencil and added some Black Soot Distress Paint splatter. I finished the page with some of the phrases from the new Dina Wakley Typed Media Ledgers. 

See full supply list at the bottom of this post 🙂
