Instructions...

1. To create a background on my journal page, I adhered torn pieces of Gelli Plate printed tissue that I made with Dylusions paint and That's Crafty! Dinky stencils. To add some coherence to the background, I stencilled some Dinky Stencil Leaves with Calypso Teal paint.

2. Using Black Marble paint, I stencilled 3 Dinky Stencil Lotus Flowers, and used a black pen to extend the stems. I added some leaves with the Leaves Dinky Stencil, some circle lines with the design element from the Time Word Series Stencil, then stencilled the word 'JOY' using individual letters from the Journal, Discover, and Happy Word Series Stencils. To make my stencilling pop, I used a white pen to add outlines, dots and doodles.

3. On a piece of white card, I stamped the phrase from Lynne's Affirmations Set 2, cut it out, sponged the edges with black ink, then adhered it to my page.

4. To finish, I sponged the edges of my page with Black Marble paint.

I hope I've inspired you today,
