Happy Valentine's Day!

Here's a journal page I've worked on in several sittings lately. Think its quite appropriate for today.

I started with the flowers- they were made using a Dylusions stencil with spray ink and then using some Dylusion's spray ink inside a water brush and filling in the flowers.  Then some red spray ink, some white painted hearts using the new Tim Holtz heart stencil and some green paint with a Crafter's Workshop stencil. Then I used some high gloss medium and a Crafter's Workshop stencil. Once dry, I took some red acrylic paint and painted this big old heart.

Seems like a lot of layering but I love the look of this page.  Lots of color and texture and depth.

I finished the page off with just a bit of doodling and the French saying, not much I know, but I like this page just the way it is.

So yesterday I was home with a snow day, must say I loved it!!!

Even if it did snow.

And blow!

(It got a lot worse late afternoon and last night! An official Nor-easter!)

I played for a long time in the studio-

and it really got me thinking-

I would love to stay home and do this all the time.

Try it-give myself a chance to be an artist.

Well I am an artist but have a career as an artist.

To see how successful I would be.

Anyhow, that's another conversation for another day.

Back to the present-

2 hour delay this morning- went out and shoveled the deck- man, it was heavy snow!

Any plans for this day of love?
