Today we've got another gorgeous project to share with you. DeeDee Catron from UmWowStudio is guest designing for us this month, and she created these gorgeous art journal pages with our Scraps of Darkness July Believe Kit!
Here's what DeeDee says about them:
The project I'm sharing today is a compilation of things...
1) It's another SoD project utilizing the July Kit : Believe.
2) It's a double page art journal spread in Jen Matott's journal from our swap.
3) It shows some cool new products from some of my favorite companies!
I finished the right page first, which was a little odd, but really turned out well. The stamp is one of the newer designs @ Viva Las VegaStamps!; the Weathered Tree. I also grabbed the VLVS! Blowing Dandelion and used the extra seed to ad some whimsy. In the top left I stamped the new Happy Moon. On the right is a new SNEAK PEEK item from UmWowStudio -- some SEA BIRDS in a mask ;) -- I've used it with a thick layer of gesso.
In this photo you can really see the base of the tree well. I've adhered a Prima Keyhole that comes in the Scraps of Darkness main kit. Because this IS a journal swap, some journaling was required, and Jen's prompt is "5 things you are currently doing." Currently I am...
1) Laying to rest some demons
2) Soaring with some angels
3) Finding my inner child
4) Satisfying my soul
5) Building an empire
The left page has some of those blowing dandelion seeds, some of the Tim Holtz Rubons from the SoD kit, and an UmWowStudio Vintage Rounded Window that has been altered with thick gesso.
The girl is from Plate 1449 from VLVS!, and the moss comes from the SoD kit. I may or may not be implying that somewhere inside this body is a sweet little girl just wanting to play in the sun all day. :D I'm really loving having all of these little ... woodsy ethereal embellishments and papers from the SoD Believe kit!
I just love the world DeeDee's created on these pages, and her colors and stamping are just perfection!
That's all we've got for today, I hope you are have a fantastic Sunday, and that you take some time to Create Something Beautiful, whether it's a scrapbook page, dinner for your family, or even better --- memories!

I started with a couple pages of watercolor paper, gave them a super
squirt down and got them very wet, then applied some bright cheerful
watercolor paints to the page. Before the paint dried completely I
sprinkled some salt around to get a bit of texture. I glued down two
giant gorgeous paper doilies and layered my watercolor paper on top.
