Color Wheel Art Journal Page

Hello friends! I hope you had a good weekend and got some crafty time. It is a new week and that also means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge.

It is time a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog and this week our theme is Things with Wheels. I hope you will join us! Don't miss the stunning project by our February guest designer Cassie Lynch.

The challenge made me think of color wheels and I made an art journal page on the theme of journeys through creativity. The page was done in my Stamperia Happiness Mixed Media Journal 4x8.5 in and I used Tim Holtz Color Wheel stencil, Distress Watercolor Pencils and some stamps. 

Place Tim Holtz Color Wheel stencil on the page and color through the stencil with Distress Watercolor Pencils. I made the color lighter towards the center of the circle.

Use a paint brush and water to dissolve the pencil marks.

Ink 'Create' from Simon Says Stamp Create stamp set with two shades of blue, mist with water and stamp.

Stamp a compass and sentiments. Then I stamped Simon Says Stamp Crackle Background with blue and grey inks, for texture.

Make lots of splatters with the watercolor pencils. Dip in water and flick a paint brush against the pencil.

I also added three AALL & Create Mindful Moments words. The sentiment stamp comes from Tim Holtz Odds & Ends.  The compass is from Tim's Tiny Things 2.

I just love colorful splatters.

Splattering with Distress Watercolor Pencils is easy and relatively mess-free.

Sentiments from Tim Holtz Curiosity Shop and Tiny Text and from Simon Says Stamp Create. 

If the watercolor stamping didn't turn out as expected, you can use a paint brush to fix it. In this case, the 'r' didn't stamp well.
