STAMPlorations~ May Mixed Media Challenge

Happy Sunday everyone, it's that time again for a new challenge over at

The theme is always anything mixed media goes, except a card! Just remember you must use at least one stencil (any brand) in your project. You have until the end of the month to play!   

 This month, I a fun and bright chipboard journal Page using a couple of the NEW ARTplorations Stencils,  Super Bubbles Stencil and Floral Flutes Stencil

I started with a Chipboard Journal Page from Recollections and added some Distress Paints for my base layer in Fossilized Amber and Carved Pumpkin. I then added black Gesso thru the Floral Flutes Stencil. Once Dry, I traced circles form the Super Bubbles Stencil with White and Black Posca Pens. I added some white details and finished with some Stickers from my stash for the sentiment. And voila,  a quick and easy, fun and bright Journal Page. :o)

 I sure hope I've inspired you to get crafty and join in our challenge.

I'm not going to go into a lot of detail, as this post would be way too long and it's already quite picture heavy, so I don't want to bombard you with step-by-step details. I did use a lot of Tim Holtz products, Distress Paints, Oxides and Inks- as Monica LOVES Tim Holtz :o).

 There are Sizzix & Tim Holtz die cuts and other miscellaneous stamps (Prima, STAMPlorations, So Suzy Stamps & Stampin' Up), stencils and products used as well- so if you have any questions, please ask :o)
