The end of STAMPtember is almost here. So Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge has one last STAMPing challenge for you: "Finishing touch stamping". What or which technique gives your project the finishing touch? Please join in and share it with us!
For me are the edges what can make the finishing touch of my project. Like inking the edges with a darker Distress Ink color (mostly brown or black) or go around the edges with black paint. But because the theme is "Finishing touch stamping", I used the Bo Bunny Stitches. Those stamps give such another look to the project. Love that!
I love to play in my art journal and I was a bit silly making these pages. I tried to make a print with the Simon Says Stamp Scrambled Letters stencil and Blackberry Violet paint. With a Brayer I applied a thin layer of paint on the backside of the stencil to use it as a stamp. Unfortunately that didn't work as I hoped. The paint dries too quickly and there wasn't a lot of paint transfered onto the page. Actually I wanted to throw the sheet away and start all over again, but no that is not how an art journal works. So I continued working with Distress Spritzer and Peacock Feathers. Love the subtle look of that.
Then it was washi tape time. This works so well to easily create a composition. Around it I stamped with different stamps. With both the ink and paint. As embellishments I made retro circles in Adobe Illustrator and cut them out with my Silhouette Cameo. And the Simon Says Stamp Scribble Flowers I stamped with Peacock Feathers and Seedless Preserves and then cut with the matching dies. Those are so fun and a bit silly! Perfect combination for these pages!
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.

I really love how you walked us through your creating of these journal pages. Even when things don't work like you expect them to, the end results are still beautiful. That's what creativity and art are all about. I love the Bo Bunny stamp. What a a fun piece and I so enjoyed walking through your layering process on your blog.
