Here is my project:
I made a journal page BG by stamping the Grungy Circle stamp in Versamark and then applying Pan Pastels over the stamped image with sponges for each color. The Versamark really picks up the colors and the Pan Pastels are so easy to blend.
I added a Birthday Banner and used Gelatos around the edges of the page, brushing first with water and then blending with my finger.
Can you see the Stampington & Co. - Garden Grunge by Dina Wakley, Number Collage stamp I stamped in my birthday girl's skirt? This was possible by using the Dina Wakley's Casey and Penelope 12 x 12 stencil. I LOVE how you punch out the girls and can use the image for one technique and the open stencil for another technique. Some quick steps below:
Pan Pastels
Gelatos for the outside edge.
Outlining the stencil (body) with black and white
Using the stencil once the girl was punched out to add music tissue paper to her feet and head with Tim Holtz Tissue Wrap ~ Melange.
Don't forget to leave a comment for prizes on my blog and the blogs of the other DT members AND on the eclectic Paperie site!
