Happy summer day to you! It's time for a new challenge at Stamps and Stencils. Our hostess Ruth has chosen the theme Colour, Texture, Shape. She says, "This month it's almost anything goes as I have a picture inspiration board for you.
I decided to use the moodboard as a jumping off point for my color scheme and gessoed some panels in my Darkroom Door junk journal. I used Lindy's Stamp Gang and Prima Color Bloom sprays. I spritzed the spray with water to make it bleed. The Color Bloom started to separate when I used my heat tool and created this lovely mottled look. From that I decided to do a beach themed layout. I stamped the new Mini Calendar randomly in Archival Tree Branch ink to build a background.
I embossed the new Seven Days stamp in white. I used a pen to circle Saturday.
I stamped an Darkroom Door advertisement stamp in Archival Coffee for further color variation and added some tissue tape here and there.
I used Tim Holtz ephemera and found relatives for my collage.
The Ornate Frame 2 die was covered in texture paste and aged with Distress Ink. I added a silicon molded lace bit made Esther at Shoregirl's Creations (thanks sweetie!) because it really tied back into the moodboard. I added lots of splashed gesso and ink.
To finish things off I added a Prima Marketing Salome Flower from the Wild and Free collection, with a string bundle beneath and a die cut Tim Holtz Scroll, which I embossed in Ginger EP. I really love this refreshing color palette! I hope you are inspired to add some color and texture to your project and play along in our challenge. Thanks for visiting!

Another stunning creation with the wow factor.....so beautiful. You've combined colours perfectly and love the detail showing the effect the sprays have had. Beautiful use of the new stamps and what a perfect setting for the bathing beauties. Gorgeous Autumn! xxxxxxx
Gorgeous pages, love the colours, too. Hugs, Valerie
I am always blown away when I visit your blog. It's happened again!!! Fabulous layout, great colours and so much layering and so much to admire. Stunning...Thank you for the continuing inspiration, I always learn so much on my visits x
Let me count the ways I love this journal spread! First,the colors are just dreamy, and now I think I must invest in some sprays! Although the mottling looks beautiful on your page, it reminds me of the way my tomatoes are looking, which is NOT a good thing! Love all the background stamping, and of course your collage gets my heart going pitty-pat! But the frosting on the cake is that silicone molded lace bit! What a stunning set of pages, sweetie! You're a creative genius! Hugs!
Fabulous page Autumn, love the textures and layout.

A nostalgic feel to this page with the vintage image - it reminds me of happy, lazy, summer days at the beach with my Aunts dressed in bathers like these Belles. Gorgeous texture and stamping and I love the mottled effect you achieved. I'm tempted to have a try at this challenge. Thanks for the inspiration.
Goegeous... MM really is your forte!
