Simon Says: Add Some Text

 

 Hello Monday, my friends! And welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the  Think Pink  Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is:  ADD SOME TEXT

Text is both a wonderful layering tool and a focal point. I've layered text into my background and foreground on my art journal page. This is the perfect season for adventures!

 

 

I began my spread with some patterned papers. 

 

Next, I added some text stamping.

I went over the pages with translucent white paint (watered down white would also work). I splashed some watercolor over that with a lovely shade of rust.

Next step is placing the images onto the page. I tore some and fussy cut others. I also reached into my stash for some embossed leaves

I am liking how this is layering up!

Mushrooms are a favorite motif of mine lately...

After sleeping on this, I decided to add a bit more text...

SAY YES TO ADVENTURE!!
