April AJED Challenge

 

April AJED Challenge in conjunction with the Smeared and Smudged FB group

This time around Julia has chosen to give us a colour prompt.  It’s pink, blue, yellow, and green…and the palette is on the pastel side of things.  This was a bit of a challenge for me since I am not a fan of pastel colours.

I used stamps from the Inky Dreams rubber set from Smeared Ink.

The middle yellow colour is more of a spring green in person.

February AJED Challenge

 

Hello!  Today I’m going to show you my page for the current AJED Challenge/Prompt.  This month our prompt is to use this video as inspiration for your journal pages.  If you’d like to join in on our challenges and prompts, then please join us in the Smeared and Smudged FB group.

I tried to use some of the techniques displayed in the video, and the sentiment of not giving up.

Here’s my page, using the frame stamp from the Nymphs rubber stamp set from Smeared Ink.
