journal what's inspiring you

Like everyone, I'm constantly in search of what inspires me to continue to to strive to be a better person, a better wife and mom, and maybe a better "artist"... My husband and I took the time to watch the film Gandhi this past weekend, and just like we had heard - it's a life changer. You can't see that, really take it in, and not be changed. I now have two books about the man and his teachings in my queue for reading.

For my layout, I loved layering a bunch of the media {all of jenni's yummy paints and inks} together to create the background for my title - then using the stencil paper to add texture medium for the main bit of it.

I also highlighted the texture in the butterflies by brushing over it with the speckled eggs ink pad.

Here's a list of supplies if you're interested in creating something similar!

Magpie Grid paper, Stencil guide paper, coordinations butterfly paper, chipboard tabs and buttons, quilted stickers identify, printed tags - vintage, keep read write stickers, row houses border punch, ink pads - speckled eggs and weather vane, paints - chicken feed, speckled eggs, malted milk.

{I loved using Louise's splatter technique from this post for the paints!}
