I was sat being very unproductive so I got out my journal and just started to play.
The first thing I grabbed was my spiced marmalade distress stain, I covered the whole page, I then pulled out some cosmic shimmer drawing inks and started splatting them about, then out came the water spritzer, more drawing inks,
some pan pastels and stencils, distress ink and tools...When I was happy with the background I gave it a quick spray of hairspray {my cheap fixative} and finished it off with one of Lily's cool octopode stamps {I love this ickle kitty critter}, Then I remembered a cool 'play' quote, so I stamped that out with a set of mini alpha's, added it to the page and hay presto.
I'm entering this in the
Simon Says stamp and Show challenge as they have an '
anything goes' theme this week.
Right I best crack on, gotta finish my valentines card for tomorrow!
Stay Inky

Hey! Great job! I love, love, love the background! I shy away from oranges, not really sure why, and I feel inspired to be braver! Thanks for sharing the inspiration - you are wonderful x
Minsy...your card is darling! I love that sentiment and your cat looks so "frazzled" by the thought of growing old! haha Your background colors are wonderfully bright and cheerful! I love it! Thanks for sharing with us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy

Very bright and very lovely Minxy ... Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp and Show this week ... We hope to see you again soon!
This is great Nicky. I love seeing what people do with their journal pages but it's not something I seem able to get into myself. I think about it too much instead of just diving in I suppose, lol! Good luck with the challenge.
