just popping in for a quick hello...
I snuck in a little play with another art journal page...
the dots are the polka dotty stencil, with translucent embossing paste...
while the paste was wet, I sprinkled on some frosted crystal embossing powder & heated it for a cool effect...
dear FAVORITE guys at Ranger...
we NEED this frosted crystal in a GIANT size jar PLEASE!
I darkened some of the dots with the stabilo pencil...
and stamped thru the stencil on some random dots...
for the frame, I traced a grid-block...
these make great frame templates...
these art journal pages have really inspired me to combine older stamps & stencils with newer...
new sunburst stencil...
new SiSi...I changed it up with a different flower center...I cut it from this one...
new add a stencil...
old spider from botanical art...
older stem & leaves...good size to mix & match with lots of flowers & easy to cut out!
it's fun to make things fresh again...
the archival ink colors I use are...
dandelion...
leaf green & fern green...
orange blossom...
hydrangea...awesome for background stenciling...
tree branch...it coordinates with everything!
watering can...a fav go to basic...
& my fav jet black...used on EVERYTHING I create!
mixed in with iced spruce & broken china distress stains, for the bow...
back to the TO*DO list...
I'm working on _____ & ______ & ________
and trying to decide if I have enough
or if I should pass on the opportunity...
and I'm still tweaking my new 2 day art journal class...
and writing instructions...
and making kits...
ps...you'll see no cooking on that list...
but I *might* sneak in a visit to onelineshoes.com to see what sandals I just might need...
even though the furnace is still going full blast...
spring HAS TO COME...
sometime...
see you tomorrow with a fun card that I created for Ranger!
until then...
sneak away and...
make art!

Thank you for the burst of paper sunshine...since all we're getting here is the liquid kind. But April showers bring May flowers so I guess it's okay. Besides, we need the rain (still drought mode from the last couple of years).
Love this! Just looking at it makes me happy!!
I love sunshine and we could use some of it here in Md. Hopefully this beautiful card will bring it!! Wendy, what are your favorite watercolor pencils?
Thanks.
Love the journal page- It reminds me of the quote"spring doesn't come- it's the world- it goes bing- like a SPRING"
Love this! Yes, yes, and yes! Go for it!

This is beautiful, Wendy! Can't wait to see you again later this month in Akron... I'm saving my pennies for a major Stampers' Anonymous shopping spree!
Wendy, I don't get it. I have signed up to follow you via email but never get any notification. You know how much I love your art and products but sometimes I miss a post. Not happy about that!

Beautiful! Spring is showing up here, little by little!
Wendy, I've recently started following your blog and am enjoying all your creations. Thanks for sharing!
You know what they say about opportunity knocking ... I say, whatever it is, go for it! Another great page, by the way.
Stunning card. Janny
Beautiful page. Always love to see what you create next. Spring was here for a visit today. Just took a walk and enjoyed not freezing to death!
Love it! That flower is awesome, and I love the big dots!
Pretty, pretty! I still owe you a thank you card for the wonderful supplies you sent. Just need some time to play!
The raised dots and flower make this a stand out project in more ways than one. This is a real favourite. As for those unmentionables? GO FOR IT. You rock everything you do. Jenny x
Absolutely gorgeous!
