Art Journaling ~ Who Asked You?
I recently bought Dyan Reaveley's new Survivor stamps and as soon as they came, I knew I had to have a play right away. They're quite large (as big as my hand) and I love the expressions on their faces and Dyan's signature wild hair. This is my large (9X12) journal, to give you a feel for the size of the face stamp.
I was wondering what I wanted to say on this page and this question came to mind. Dyan has some very funny and edgy stamps on the market, so I imagine that's where my mind went on this one. (For instance, one of her Christmas stamps says “Jingle your own damn bells.”)
I decided to color only her eyes, since there was so much color elsewhere.

That is a large stamp.
She looks great paired up with the sentiment you created and I like that you only coloured her eyes.

You always make amazing pages with Dylusions, this is not exception. For first few minutes I just observe and try to find out how you would have created those layers. great !!
Thanks for inspiration, Marjie
Those big bold letters – and the whole sentiment – work so well with the face.
Fabulous spread Marjie!! I love the attitude! And as always- your colors are delish!! See you soon!! “)

I too am in love with Dyan’s new stamps. So cool! I love your page Marjie, always so full of layers and great ideas! Visually stunning!
Marjie, this is just so much fun…art with “attitude,” if you will! Made me smile. More great stamps from Dyan…oh, my! Love that you colored in only those great eyes on your image. Speaks volumes!
