A Sweet Art Journal spread

Whew, first blog post is done!

Here's my second project - my first two-page art journal spread! This took forever to do but I love how it turned out. I used tons of stuff including (my favorite) My Favorite Things Romantic Script background stamp, Altenew Hexagon stencil, a Paper Pumpkin rose stamp I really loved when it came out last April but haven’t used until now, and a Papertrey Ink stitches stamp that’s been sitting unused for two years!

The quote is from Laura Ingalls Wilder.

I love the fun texture on the hexagons! I used quinicridone gold watercolor paint to give a "honey" color to the hexagons.

I also used some Distress crayons, Distress Oxides, Tim Holtz collage paper, and I inked an embossing folder onto tissue paper for part of the spread.

I'm entering this into the following challenges:

Funkie Junkie Boutique challenge - Put a Good Word In

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge - Layer It Up

I also linked this project in my Instagram to the Simon Says Stamp Instagram challenge - Something New.
