Sari Journey Continues~Dreaming of What May Be...

Hi friends! back today with another Artist Tribe post!  

 Today the Sari Journey continues with a spread

 called 

Dreaming of what May Be...

Again,less writing,lots of photos,I hope you enjoy your visit!

 

  Started out with covering the page with some of the Batik fabric,my friend Jen sent me. I tore this into strips and applied with matte medium.

 

The flowers are cut from pieces of

 Gwen's Irresistible India Embellished Sari Scrap~Neutrals.

After applying the flowers with matte medium,I painted them in with watered down acrylics.

Here I used a few saved teabags as well as these beautiful Fabulous Florals~Gold Skeleton Leaves from Gwen's store.

 I used these to frame my young girl who is looking on her reflection,wondering about her future.

Also used are circles punched from

 Gwen's Exotic Orient~Japanese Paper Sample Packs

 The circles and flowers are edged with embossing powders from Lindy's

I tore the edges of her photo and used Distress Vintage Photo to "age" the edges

   This next page is of the young girl and what may be...

this left side looked too bare to me...

 

 again,tearing the edges,adding Vintage Photo and then applying Burnt Copper Leaves Embossing Powder on the edges of these graphics.

  This HAS to be my favorite

 Gwen's Essentials Emerald Creek Embossing Powder~Gorgeousness!

 

  more Exotic Orient~Japanese Paper Sample Packs

both punched as flowers and also the background piece with the tiny butterflies

 

 I felt the left side of the last page was too bare, so I made a flower out of leftover Irresistible India Embellished Sari Scraps~Pinks/Fuchsias and added it with matte medium

Seriously,if you have not checked out these Irresistible Sari Scraps,you really need to! 

They are simply incredible!

what will her future bring?

So glad you were able to come by and visit again today! 

 I sure hope you found your visit inspiring and maybe it teases you on to create something yourself! 

 Love & Peace

Hello my friends!
 I went for my 2 week check up yesterday, so here is a short video message to bring you up to date.

just one more thing...have any of you ever seen a Robin build a nest on the ground? I know it is a Robin because I watched her the other day scout out for worms and then hop back on.

Peace & Love to you all dear friends

Continuing the Sari Journal Journey with Springtime Spread

Hello friends,thank you for taking the time to visit!

My typing will be minimal in my next few posts as I regain my strength and feeling in my left hand,so please bear with me.

 For sure there will be loads of photos,so have your cuppa ready!

A few of our blog friends said they would like to see more of the Sari Journal from me.

 So,off we go!

 Here is my beginning inspiration. I ordered Gwen's Curated Stash Packs~Paper and Paper Embellishments-

 OMGosh what a glorious pack to open!

 After choosing some papers I added color to my page with Prima Sparks-Butterfly Spells

Then the layering began

One of Gwen's new spring time stencil releases- isn't this just gorgeous?!

 It is called Chinese Garden Plum Blossom.

close up of Emerald Creek's Enhanced Gold Pearl Embossing Powder-

 I felt the space between the  pages needed a bit of something, so a piece of Sari Scrap was added and the the Turkman Jewelry part with beading- I love how it turned out

 And this GORGEOUS piece of Pink Sari Scrap was the perfect embellishment for this page!

If you haven't purchased any of Gwen's Irresistible India Sari Scraps yet,I urge you to get some before they are gone-such delicious colors and fibers- you will just love them!

 

I cut out and embossed a few of these dies-sorry no longer available-but beautiful right?

 

 

a couple of Gwen's beautiful Washi tapes in stock

 

a bit of sewing of Sari

aged papers for that vintage look

and a nesting of Sari and string

Thank you so very much for your visit and I wish I could have been more detailed with my descriptions,please contact me via email or in the comments if you have any questions on my Springtime Spread in my Sari Journal!

Thank you my friends for your wonderful words of encouragement and concern-you are truly the best!Sending out much love and peace to you all!
