The double Journal Page below is the result of several layers with 2 gorgeous stencils and lots of Sprays, Inks, Stamps and Pens.
Kinda Funky fun!
I started with the large Dylusions Journal and Dyan's Sprays.
9x12 Garden Swirl L147
6x6 Layered Salad Stencil S111
This shows some of the Distress Inks over the sprays as well as a bit of the white pen.
I wanted MORE color, so at this stage I also added brighter colors such as Mustard Seed and Picked Raspberry Distress inks to fill in and brighten things up.
I used various Borders, Swirls and Splats stamps from The Artistic Stamper and more stenciling using white paint.
I really love the way the white paint picks up the color of the inks and lets you see the layers underneath!!! VERY cool IMHO!
I just continue to add Glaze Pens and Sharpie Poster Paint Pens.
I wanted a focal point, so I felt the gorgeous Kiki from Neil Walker that I'd stamped and colored earlier would be perfect in this "garden" atmosphere.
So I cut her out and glued her into place.
A perfect combination I think.
The last thing I do is use markers to add more subtle tones to some areas of white and shadows to make other spots jump out a tad.
That's it for me. Don't forget to leave a comment here and jump to all the other blogs playing along today. Each comment enters you into the drawing that ends Nov. 24th 11:59 PM Central Time.

I really really like the colors in this. When I try to layer so many it gets too "mixed together" for me... more to aspire to! Thanks for showing me it can be done!
I absolutely love this page, Linda, such beautiful vibrant colours (for a very cold November morning!) and the white really makes the colours zing at you.
Start with light colors, and then if it gets dark, add the white paint or pen! It brightens up like you wouldn't believe!
