Hope this brightens your day

 Hello everyone, 

For today's Guest Design project for AALL & Create I made a journal page. 

Here's how I made this:

On a piece of 6 x 6 Mixed Media paper I heat embossed this fabulous stam and then dunked it into Distress Oxide inks. I used Worn Lipstick and Spiced Marmalade. I then splashed some water on it to create some lighter spots. 

I also stamped the flower I wanted to use as a focal point. 

Next I used this fab stencil by Bipasha to add more interest. 

Next, stamping. I used grey and black ink to add some dark areas. Later I used a brayer and some white paint to tone it down slightly but also to make it look a little more shabby. 

I have actually stamped this stamp whole and keep cutting out the pieces that I want. 

The flower is now coloured. I used Distress Ink in Peeled Paint and Worn Lipstick to colour it. For the middle I just added some yellow dots with a paint pen. 

Here is is all put together. I matted the page on some black card stock and then glued it into my journal.
