I really enjoyed creating this page, it came together rather easily.
The left page is simply layers of acrylic paints; the right background is, once again, painted used dryer sheets.
These sheets come in many varieties, giving lots of variations for altering.
Over the word Natural is a piece of wall repair tape. It is sticky back and the color can be changed simply by smooshing with a stamp pad. Gauze ribbon covers ‘Balance’.

This background is made by ironing crumpled wax paper over the pages, and then smooshing the page with three colours of Distress Inks. I still love this technique!
The vine is stencilled using Distress Ink in Chipped Sapphire.
All diecuts and the image outlined with markers.

Here is a card I made to send a wee note off to a friend.
The background uses the shaving cream technique, and the stamped image was colored with permanent markers – on a piece of transparency.

This is me playing with backgrounds and newspaper transfers (the man on the left page) again! The foil on the right side is from a cottage cheese container, which I dry embossed then brushed with inks.

This is a page that features Stubby Stamps.
Stamp Cat with black Versafine Ink – what a fabulous stamp that is.
Below that, stamp the Criss-cross stamp. Glue some dyed lace at the bottom of that. Stamp the Arch Border onto twill ribbon…glue that down as shown.
Color twill with stamp pad, I used Distress Ink in Victorian Velvet.
Glue a strip of scrapbooking paper border to left of page, and Voila – finished. Easy Peasy!
