It's been quite a while since I've done a challenge, but when I heard of this challenge something clicked and I had to join in.It's another page in my 8x4 mini art journal, and was one of those pieces of art that just flowed out onto the page, complete with narrative - no doubt That Woman will be passing comment on my mental processes again :D
Stamps are Mushrooms and Moon Girl from Stampotique, grass from Artemio.
Colours are Distress Ink - Mustard Seed, Hero Arts Dark Blue and a pink highlighter pen.
If you want to see the original challenge and other people's take on the colours, have a look at the Play Date Cafe.
So great to have you play along with us in The Play Date Cafe : ) Saw your work on Sarah's blog from her workshop and it's a pleasure to have another of the male species with us!
