In spite of having a list as long as your arm of things to do, I decided to take some creative time and make another page in my stamp journal. It was pointed out to me that it wasn't really an art journal as I was using stamps in it all the time so I'm renaming it a stamp journal - even though there isn't actually any journalling either............maybe I should just forget about labelling it at all!
Enough already - on to the good stuff! More splattering of paint was the order of the day for the background - I used acrylic paints and gelatos and then added a thin coat of Mod Podge to seal it. The Stampotique snowman was stamped onto tissue paper, coloured with Copics, fussy cut and then Mod Podged to the page. I added to the background by glitter embossing some stamped numbers, a few snowflakes and used some Cameo Silhouette negative cuts as stencils for the star shapes, finishing off with a stamped word "SNOW". I do like the transparency the tissue paper adds to the page - it's almost like adding a rub on transfer.

Dawn, it is a darling page no matter what anyone calls it. It is beautifully put together with such pretty colors and I love it! Great design.
I love this, Dawn! It doesn't matter what you call it, it's awesome! Very artistic design!
Such a great journal page, Dawn! And, it *IS* an art journal page. Most of my journal pages include stamps and paper as well as ink and paint. Don't let anyone dissuade you from calling it an art journal! Now, I love how you used the tissue paper for your focal image. The transparency is so cool! Nicely done!
Doesn't matter what the name is, Dawn! It is your creative place, and what a cool new creation this is! Love it! Love all the paint, sparkle, texture, colors, and stamping! And the snowman turned out great! :^)
Hugs, Penny

It IS art!! You don't have to write in an art journal!! And it's YOUR journal, so you get to call it what you want!! Don't listen to crtics!!

I say you call it a Fun Book cause that's what you're having right? :-) The colors are great and I love the texture of the tissue paper. Lots of fun Dawn. Hugs!
