Hi everyone! Today I'd like to show you an insert I made for my Journal (when I get one). ;) I have had a struggle in my life for over 2 years and know all to well what it means to have your fears and dreams in the same place. I thought this stamp was perfect for my very first journal page!
I started by covering a plain piece of cardstock with gesso. Then I added a thin layer of modeling paste and used my crackle stamp over the left side. When it dried, I dotted some Black Soot distress stain over it. On the right side I added Cotton Candy gelato and misted with water. When it had dried, I used Heidi Swapp's stencil #1 and added modeling paste over the hearts only. Then I painted the hearts red and applied a light layer of gesso over my black soot stain. I added a few doodles to my hearts and painted the middle section white with gesso. Then stamped one of the stamps out of the Stuff to Say set from Stampers Anonymous using Jet Black Staz On ink. I used a paper distresser on the black edges to make them torn and shredded. I hope you enjoyed my little journal insert.
I also have some CANDY to give away!

Wow! This is a really unique and beautiful page! The colors are so striking and I really liked your write-up where you talk about how life is a mix of dreams and fears. The texture you created with the modeling paste and crackle paint is stunning and such a nice contrast to the bright red hearts of hope. I love journal pages that feel open and honest and that's what this one did for me. You truly succeeded in creating a striking page. I'm so glad you shared your talents with us here at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog!
