Growing in Unity Day 4 . . . woohooo!

 Hello, sweet friends old and new.

Thank you again for all the beautiful comments you have been leaving . . . 

my heart is full of joy today!

 The inspiration for my project today came from

Donna Downey`s

Art & Possibility stamp set

I adore this set and have used them a lot on various projects, but today  I was inspired by these two -

do

what

makes

you happy

 Paint 

your dreams

along with another love of mine . . .

I looove to doodle and a favorite at the moment is this one . . . I call her legs . . . she makes me happy!
Sooo it was time to pull them altogether!

A quick coat over the old pages in my second hand book with some Maimeri Gesso and impatient as ever, I gave it quick blast with my heat tool.

I was so lucky to have been picked to win a grab bag of Unity Stamps for Friends with Flair and adore the script stamp that was included { sorry not sure what it`s called }I tend to use it a lot on my mixed media projects.

Next, time to take another book age and cut out the skirt and pocket, coloring with Pan Pastels using a sofft tool and sponge along with . . . I can`t help it I love using my fingers . . .they are looking mighty pretty right now as I type up this post,lol!!!

I wanted to add a little extra detail so . . . I whipped out my sewing machine and added a little stitching on the skirt . . . hmmmmm it needed more . . . tissue paper!

So easy, I just scrunched the tissue paper up and fixed in place with a little Matt Medium.

 If a girls going to paint her dreams then she`s going to need some paintbrushes!

I am sooooo bad . . . I`ve been pretty busy creating and hadn`t realised that I hadn`t popped these 2 brushes into water . . . ruined totally but obviously meant to be, because now I had 2 brushes to add to this project,lol.

I just snipped them down to size and voila " Legs " now has some brushes to paint with!

 Time to finish of the background . . . more Pan Pastels and my fingers along with a touch of Tim Holtz Distressed Ink Pad in Walnut Stain randomly applied around the edges with the blending tool.
Ink up the stamps with a black Archival ink pad, stamp and then snip them up fixing into place with Matt Medium.
Who would have thought that a few sentiments would end up inspiring this journal page . . .
Inspiration is everywhere
another of these beautiful stamps and oh so true!

Do what makes you happy

Paint your dreams
