Inspired Stamps Art Journal Inspiration

Hello and welcome here!  It's time for another Inspired Stamps inspiration post and this week we are using any art journal stamps. 

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"

I used Hymn Mushrooms and Leaves.  It's a great set!  I used Dylusions spray on my paper and dried it, I then stamped the leaves and flower using archival ink.  Next I used a waterbrush to lift off some of the colour from the flower and leaves, I then used a mix of Inktense pencil crayons and LePlume II watercolour markers to add some colour to the flower and leaves.  I finished it off with white dots around both.

I used Romans 8:28 on the front as well.

Inside:

I used Perfect Sentiments for the inside as well as the flower from Hymn Mushrooms & Leaves.

Recipe:  Inspired Stamps SS-Hymn Mushrooms & Leaves, Romans 8:28 & Perfect Sentiments, Strathmore Mixed Media Paper, Dylusions Ink Spray-Calypso Teal & Fresh Lime, Inktense-Crimson 0530 & Apple Green 1400, LePlume II Markers-Pine Green #72 & Wine #63, Faber Castell Graphit Pencil, CTMH Archival Ink-Black, Signo Pen-White, CTMH Ink-Black & Kiwi.
