"Save It"

In this prompt I am suggesting to use you scraps to simply help decorate your journal page.Use a image you love a fairy a monster a vampire a muse what ever and gesso this on..the water color crayons help seal it with color and stamp using a smeared ink stamp.

Have you joined the red rubber club. I have. I can say no if I cannot afford them that month or yes to the set that they are offering..or no I do not want that set but I want one you have in your red rubber list...Tori and Terra are awesome and will work with you.Here is the link http://smearedandsmudged.ning.com/group/smeared-ink-rubber-club

This is far far from good it is a mess hey but I am learning!

Then I tried some stencils one Dylusions and a Wendy Vecchi
just to try to get some "learning" on textures...

I added some Tim Holts tissue paper with musical notes in the circles and outlined with black acrylic
The hands are from a awesome red rubber stamp set from Smeared Ink.Here is the link if you want to join the group there.http://smearedandsmudged.ning.com/group/smeared-ink-rubber-club
