Hi all!
Today I'm sharing a FUN Art Journal page using six
different stamps and stencils by
Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.To start it's all about layering to build a great page.
Sweet 'n Sassy has great stamps for this!!

I start with the ink. I love Distress Oxide so that is what I use. I
love how I can distress the background by adding drops of water
and then wiping it off. Love the look!!

I stamped the four focal images using the
SNS-18-030 TextureTiles 2 and
SNS-12-0368 Nature Silhouettes. I trimmed the
images down to about a 2 1/2"x3" size. That workd great for the
area that I want to cover.

Before I adhered the four silhouette flower squares I added more
stamps and stencils to the background. I used
SNS-21-003Going Postal, SNS-14-004 God is Bigger and the two
craft stencils called
Grunge Dots and
Mixed Up.

I just keep adding stamps and ink until I get the look that I want.
The last thing I did was speckle acrylic paint over the pages.
Super fun! All the adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.
Thanks for stopping by!
