studio 490 style...

I love the faces that Dina draws & 

I thought I'd use one of her stamps...

studio 490 style...

here's what I did...

I hadn't created a page for my 

mat mini fat little book in a bit, 

so I started with a page...

I misted the page with my archival spray inks...

(make them with archival reinkers in a mister with rubbing alcohol)...

you'll find the original post about them here...

spray archival inks...

I used sky blue and a tiny bit 

of orange blossom...

I stenciled the 

new cable knit stencil 

with sky blue on the left side...

I stamped the face with black soot archival...

(use the reinker with the DIY pad 

to create the pad...)

and embellished HER with 

some new mat mini flowers, 

tiny butterfly and star...

the flower colors are

garden patina & orange blossom...

the mat mini flowers  

were pressed onto this inked stamp...

using just the center,

it totally changes the look of the mat minis...

the mat mini leaves got stamped with 

the ticking background, 

using watering can...

the new ferns were stenciled with fern green...

the red berries are from this stencil...

always use old with new!

the white dots on the berries & on her eye

are the Dy paint pen...

the lots of dots stencil got used 

with red geranium along the right side...

her face and lips were tinted with 

tea rose archival...

the sentiment fit perfectly on the side...

there's a bit of text on her cheek from 

the new les roses background...

I stamped the tiny butterfly with 

this tiny text stamp

(it's GREAT for all the tiny mat minis)

for some reason I decided to keep it white-ish...

hmmm???

I painted the tiny star with buttercup mica spray, using the detailer water brush...

GORGEOUS bling!

those circles on the left were made with the tip I removed from an empty 

mini multi medium bottle...

I tapped it into dina's white paint & then after it dried, again onto the watering can pad...

and her she is again...

with a little scribbling on the frame...

and a closer look...

this was 

30 minutes of pure fun for me...

I had no plan...

no plans for a blog post...

so no step out photos...

just a play time for me...

I really love the art process...

I hope you can PLAY and

make art!
