Paint Long and Prosper and a mixed media stand for Scrap FX

Hi, thank you for joining me again this month.  Today I'm sharing a simple art journal page and and little off the page project.
After painting my background, I have adhered some Bookprint Transparency to my background.  I just cut random pieces of this and used matte medium to stick it down in 3 places to form a visual triangle.
I've then taken one of my scrap pages that I started a background on a while ago that I wasn't happy with.  I think I've said before that I always keep these to re purpose them for future projects.   I've used a sponge and black paint with the Flower Buds Stencil and once cut, used these to make the bodies/dresses of my Queens.
For my title I have cut a strip from the Art Words Transparency and painted behind this with a posca pen.

My next project began with a desk stand that my friend Deena Otway gave a few of us at a retreat a couple of years ago.  I finally got around to painting it and love how it's turned out.
After giving it a couple of coats of chalk paint I have used the Paint Brushes Stencil and black paint on the ends of the stand.  I then coloured each brush with paint pens and went over the top of this with the stencil again to neaten the finish.
I added a paintbrush to the front and also the word Create from the Create with Passion Stencil.
I love it so much that I'm going to make a permanent spot on my desk for it.

4 for Scrap FX

Hi, thanks for joining me today as I share some of this months fabulous new releases.  Perfect timing for a pic of one of my gorgeous nephews who just celebrated his 4th birthday.
Some watered colour with Distress Inks started this one off.  The Numbers Silhouette has then been cut into 3 pieces to make a visual triangle and .was then adhered to the page.  I coloured in the number fours to show Eli's age.
The chipboard Star Outlines have been coloured with posca pens with some spots and stripes added for visual interest.
The Happy Birthday Frame has been glued to the photo and then cut around the edge when this was dry.
Along the edges I have stamped using the Numbers Crunch Stamp and added some more Numbers Silhouette.
Hope you've been inspired.
