Old stash new die mash I have been experimenting and revisiting my stash as decided to use my water based mica ink pigment paints. I love the sheen these give and couldn't stop there so I spritz gold on top .

I wanted to try something different so used a die cut as a stencil. The die is floral breeze from memory box and I used a white sakura gel pen to draw through and add the pattern to the painted card. I finished off the design with some die cut letters to spell the words imagine and create and thought it would make a perfect front to a journal I am planning to use to note down challenges i may wish to enter.
