Sunflower Love

The Floral Clusters are on sale this week at Stamp Simply and I used the Fall Flowers set to create this bright n cheery window card. 

The background was a piece of watercolor paper that I ink smooshed two shades of yellow on and spot stamped some text. I inked around the edges in brown ink. The flowers were stamped on mixed media paper, colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens, and splattered with white acrylic paint.

I go to prepare a place

Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

John 14:1-3

Today's mini art journal page features the Enter In stamp & die set from Creative Worship Stamps. The background was created by ink smooshing two colors of distress ink (scattered straw and saltwater taffy) onto the page and stenciling over it with the damask pattern stencil. I lightly spot stamped the brick wall from Texture Tiles 2 in weathered wood distress ink. The door and flowerpots were stamped in waterproof ink onto mixed media paper and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens. A few pieces of drywall tape add texture to the background and white pain splatters add interest to the stamped pieces.
