Purple Hearts and Flowers

     Purple hearts and flowers adorn my latest art journal page, made with Dylusions Paints and embossed stamping!




     I love an ombre effect, and mixed (White Linen) and (Laidback Lilac) Dylusions Paints at the bottom, blended into (Laidback Lilac), blended into a mix of (Laidback Lilac) with (Crushed Grape), and finished with (Crushed Grape) on top! Then I used the same colors with some stencils for the diamonds, circles, and alphas.




     Dylusions Paints were also used to paint the flowers that were embossed with Emerald Creek Rock Candy (Marshmallow) Embossing Powder.




     Emerald Creek Rock Candy (Java Plum) Embossing Powder was embossed onto white cardstock on the bottom heart. 




     Then I embossed (Java Plum) again, but stamped first with purple inks for the LOVE and HUGS hearts. 




     The XOXO heart was embossed with Ranger Mixed Media Powder (Lilac), and decorative scissors around each one created the scallops. Along the right I added some flowers from a magazine. 



     Thanks for looking, and wishing you an early Happy Valentine's!

  5. What a fabulous journal entry, Drea. The ombre effect is perfect for this. I was SO impressed by the texture you got from the embossing. That was stunning. And I was delighted to see that you put decorative scissors to good use, too. Thank you beyond belief for sharing this with us at Art Journal Journey.
