This week is "it's in the family" over at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Maybe you'll make a project for your family, you're trying to make a family tree or use a family of colors. Whatever you come up with, we'd like to see!
In my art journal I wanted to use the Found Relatives, unfortunately I don't have any pictures of my ancestors and used these replacements instead. I love Finnabair's art journaling style, really pretty, and I'm very inspired by it. Love to play with and give it my own spin.
First I distressed the background, especially the edges, with Spiced Marmalade, Barn Door, and a bit of Walnut Stain Distress Ink. These colors in combination with lots of white are stunning.
Then I decided which Found Relatives I wanted to use and which were the easiest to cut out. With the strips of paper and washi tapes I made a simple composition. Above of the strips I stamped with Versamark the Doily and covered it Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls.
With a variety of stamps I built up the background. I sprayed with Lindsy's Stamp Gang and a homemade spray of Barn Door, Spiced Marmalade Rein Cherry and Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls, a little bit to make it all the same color and to make it more a whole.
To join in all you need to do is make a project that fits this weeks challenge and you can be the winner of the $50 gift voucher that our amazing sponsor Simon Says Stamp offers. This prize will go to a random entry. So go over to the Stamp and Show Monday Challenge blog, let the DT members inspire you and join in the fun!
Thank you for stopping by! Love to see you next time!
Hugs,
Sandra

I love your found relatives! Wonderful and vibrant background pages. Love the texture, Sandra! Hugs!
Gorgeous journal pages Sandra! Love the burst of color and the sweet family vintage images! All the texture looks fantastic!
I love how this turned out! I adore the bright bold colors paired with the black and white found relatives. I also like all the imagery you created in the background and think the doily stamp looks especially cool. Of course, I am always a fan of incorporating lace, so I love what you did with that, too. Wonderful piece!
Ohhh I love the glorious glow of colors behind the black and white images. Beautiful pages!
I am in love with this project! Those luscious colors are pure sweetness. And the vibrancy enhances the photos without overwhelming them. Bravo!
Wow.. these pages are fantastic! Sandra. Love the beautiful colors on the background. :)
Fantastic pages! I love the mix of textures and the warm color palette :)
