Smiles Gone Postal

Tearing up some scraps

of 7 Gypsies Postal "Grid" and a sheet of Kaisercraft Timeless "Butterflies", I put together this page in my art journal...

A pretty simple page...

after applying the papers with gel medium and drying, I rubbed on a bit of red orchre acrylic paint. 

I sponged on Mustard

Seed and Persimmon Distress Inks using my Chicken Wire Crafters Workshop stencil. Then with the Chevron Arrows stencil, I added a layer of molding paste.

Black Soot Distress Ink 

frames the page and Clear Rock Candy Stickles glamours up the butterfly. 74 is semi-outlined with a white Gelly Roll pen and Donna Downey's "Smiles" by Unity Stamp Co provides the text... and describes my demeanor when I look at my creation!
