More journal play today~
Stamping out one of Lynne Perrella's ladies, I cut off her bottom and added a mermaid tail fin from Laura Carson
This all started out when I pulled a jar of paint out to use and found
that it had turned thick! Well, it was still pliable as I pulled it from
the jar, and I could not bring myself to throw it away! Hoarder!
So what I did was take those blobs of paint and spread them onto my page for texture.
here you can see the beautiful mica pigment that came out of the blob once i added some water and pulled the color across the page
I added some circles I cut with my new die and could not bear to throw away the wax paper rings that came out with my cuts,so I added those as well,topped with Liquidglass
stenciled here with some clear embossing paste using sealife stencils. Also added chipboard seaweeds and sea life strip across the bottom.
finally,I added my 'beautiful adventure' die cuts
Hoping your Sunday morning is as beautiful as mine is
thank you for your visit

Gorgeous page Jackie!!! Love the use of the dried up paint!!! It's amazing what we hoard, no I mean use!! XOXOXOXOXOX
What a delight your beautiful mermaid page is dear Jackie!
IMHO every girl needs a spare mermaid tale handy just in case ;-)
And hats off to you for honoring "waste not want not" with your beautiful blob background (say that 6 times quickly *gg*!).
L♥ve your pretty page so much!
Hello and Hugs from a spectacular Sunday here in Northern Virginia.

Gorgeous page, so serene! xoxo
This is a fantastic underwater page, you have really created a gorgeous and mysterious world. Looks like you had BIG fun with it! Hugs, Valerie
My goodness, Jackie! What have you done???! Well, you've stolen my crafty heart for one thing! And you have done what all the rest of us hoarders, uh, I mean frugal crafters only DREAM we will do. Like use up that thickened paint left in the bottom of the bottle so many might just toss. But NO, NOT US!! Well, you have made a masterpiece around that blob of paint, my dear! What a fabulous under sea dream of a journal page! I love the combined LP stamp with the mermaid tail stamp--aren't you the cleverest one of all! And the clear Texture Paste through your seaweed stencil and those glassined wax paper circles (more good schtuff!) are just the perfect touches to your journal page! Way to go, my friend! Sending warm hugs!
PS this looks like double duty on many counts, here, Jackie. Why not enter it into Emerald Creek Dares Double Duty challenge? Link: http://blog.emeraldcreek.org/2017/04/double-duty.html
PPS I think I owe you one HUGE congratulations on being our winner there for our last challenge! I was so excited to see you won! Woo Hoo! Happy shopping!
Bet you're pleased you didn't throw the paint away as that is a gorgeous page Jackie. This reminds me Lol! I may have some paint just like it!
Have a great week and happy crafting, Angela xXx
Gorgeous art journal page
Wow, love the fabulous scene you created with such gorgeous colours and glorious texture and those circles of card were such a brilliant addition. Have a great week xxx
Jackie, it is an amazing page, love the way the thick paint reacts, on the page, making it look like waves and the circles bobbles adding to to feel of moving water. Your mermaid is so beautiful, a great idea, to mix the two stamps .
Happy Easter week to you, dear. xoxo
My goodness, this is a wonderful happy accident! I love that texture created by the thickened paint. Also what a great idea to give the Lynne Perrella lady a mermaid tale. This is such an inventive and beautiful page. You are a unique talent, Jackie and always such an inspiration! xx
BEAUTIFUL Jackie. It's so GREAT that you didn't just toss the paint because your colors and blobs are AMAZINGLY SUPER texture and shimmer. Love your mermaid project. So CREATIVE!! Xj.
This is very dreamy! Love it, Jackie, you should submit artwork to Stampington.
Beautiful, Jackie! I loved reading about the dry paint and it's so cool that you were able to use it anyway - the blobs are super cool and who doesn't love some extra bling from mica? :)
Your combination of the stamp and graphic to make the mermaid is really clever. Thank you for joining our April colour challenge at Rubber Dance ♥
I applaud your thrifty use of the paint to create that gorgeous blingy background. The circles are so cool and I love your hybrid mermaid. I have the top half! Just need to find me a tail!! Thanks for sharing and for joining the Rubber Dance challenge. Hugz
One fabulous artistic page, love your idea of the old paint and your gorgeous mermaid. I am now following you, think I can learn a thing or two... ♥[aNNie]
This is so creative and I love the mermaid Jackie. I only through out a heap of stuff recently that had dried up...so I was smiling heaps when you said about the thickened paint.
Thank you for joining us at Rubber Stamp for our colour challenge.

OMG Jackie! Can you be any more creative? Such a beautiful page, loving the mermie! (the bubbles are fab too) xox
Jackie, this is such a gorgeous page! I love the color, the textures and how you incorporated so many different elements! beautiful work!
Beautiful page :) I love mermaids! Creative use of the old dry paint. I am always saving those dried acrylic paint rings I pull off my caps..but have yet to use them LOL
Great work of art Jackie!
Love those colours together! Very crafty how you replaced the lady's "bottom" (LOL!) with the fish tail to turn her into a mermaid. Lovely textures too!
Jackie...you had me at the TEAL colors!!! :) This art journal page is awesome! I also love Lynne Perrella's stamps. They are very quirky and detailed. Love them! Ingenious to combine the mermaid tail to the lady stamp. So clever. I love your BLOBS of paint, too. I'm like you...if it's still usable at all; find a way to use it! :) Hoaders?? Nah..... I love Liquid Glass, too. Very cool use for it on the bubbles. I also love the die cuts. They add dimension and a definite "atmosphere" for your mermaid to be swimming around in. LOVE IT!
As always, you've made sunshine out of bitter lemons, Jackie - well done. I love this piece and especially appreciate the way you've created it. Sending you massive hugs, my good friend! xo
One of my favorite colours! This colour always reminds me of the ocean in Australia, it has this bright turquoise colour that I never tire of. It's amazing what you did with this piece, how you managed to use that thick paint to your advantage, and all the bits and pieces you added. You have such a creative mind! Love the circles!
Wow, this is just beautiful - the colors and textures are just lovely! xo
Jackie, what you did with the paint is so clever and innovative and it creates such fabulous texture too! I love the teal colour, I love the ocean theme and I love the way you created the mermaid. Stunning work!!! Hugs, Anne xx
Gorgeous texture in the background and Amazing journal page, Jackie. Love the way you have used the mermaid image here.. great composition!
Thanks for joining us at Rubber Dance Challenge this month.
An amazing page, I love everything about it especially the Lynne Perrella image with her mermaid tail.
xxx Hazel.
I love this especially the sophisticated mermaid. Good idea to add a fishtail to a vintage image.
Hi Jackie, what an inspiring page, I loved to read through, your photos make me wanna create immediately, great!! Thanks for sharing! Have a nice Holiday, Susanne
Oh, fantastic, Jackie! I love your LP mermaid - so creative, and the ocean depths and textures are luscious. Wonderful, imaginative work.
