Daffodils Art Journal

Hi friends! Storm Franklin is bringing us a whole lot of wet snow at the moment, but to cheer that weather up, I have a spring-time art journal page to share.

Our theme this week at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is Art Journaling. If you have never art journaled before, I hope you will try it. It is very fun, creative and freeing. You don't have to have an art journal, but you can use lose pages instead and bind them later and glue them into a notebook.

Don't miss the beautiful art journal page by our February guest designer Susan Babcock aka Susanbcards.

We spotted some snowdrops last week, which was the first sign of spring this year, although they are now buried under lots of snow. I love daffodils and made an art journal page featuring the beautiful Off The Edge Daffodils stencil from Simon Says Stamp's new Good Luck Charm release.

Place the stencil on a page in Dina Wakley's 6x6 in White Journal. Mist with Squeezed Lemonade, Scattered Straw and a little Twisted Citron.

When dry, place the stencil back again and add a little bit of Distress Oxide ink with ink blending brushes, just to darken some of the areas.

Splatter a little Twisted Citron spray on the page.

I die cut the Simon Says Stamp Circle Loops from yellow glitter paper. The sentiments were stamped on white paper and cut into strips. These are from Anna's Flowers and Mixed Labels.

The Simon Says Stamp Capital B Beautiful die was die cut from white and yellow Memory Box Frosted Glitter paper and pieced together. The stamped label comes from Simon Says Stamp Mixed Labels.

This type of detailed outline stencil works very well together with mists and gives a really quick background.

Some additional sentiments and sequins to finish the page.
