She Made Broken Look Beautiful

 Good morning and a very happy Friday. Today I'm over on the Lost Coast Portal To Creativity with my journal pages for our Strong Women challenge.

I started by cutting my pages from smooth card and stamping with the Flowers background stamp. It's such a beautiful stamp even before it's coloured.

I used my Tim Holtz distress pens to colour them in.

Frida has also been coloured with Distress pens. I love this sentiment and think it fits in perfectly with Frida and our challenge.

And these are my lovely stamps. I've used

Frida 1

Flowers   and

Carmen's Veranda Broken sentiment.

I hope you like her, and join in with our challenge. Remember there are Lost Coast $'s to be won so be sure to link up!

Have a very happy weekend, and thanks so much for looking x

Paint Your Own Reality

 Good morning and a very happy Friday. I'm over at the Lost Coast Designs Portal To Creativity again today with my second Face On project, and this time I've used a beautiful Frida Kahlo stamp to make a page in my Lost Coast journal.

This was such a simple project, but sometimes they're the nicest aren't they? I simply stamped Frida onto some watercolour paper, coloured her in, and cut her out.

The background is 6x4 (so it fits into my album) and I've stamped the sentiment directly onto it.

Here she is next to the Sugar Skull lady from last Sunday.

And this is how she looked when I paper pieced her in another journal a while ago.

This is the wonderful Frida stamp that I used.

I've really enjoyed this challenge, and I know you will too so please join in and link up for the chance to win some Lost Coast dollars.

Thanks so much for looking, take care, and have a very happy weekend x
