Captured

I found the Pink Challenge at Scrapki-Wyzwaniowo June 2017 Pink Challenge very inspiring this month.
It was just what I needed to get inspired to work with a pretty, girlish color, and of course, use my Shimmerz Paints design team products too.
This photo reminds me of my 20 something year old niece's attitude. 
I entitled the art journal entry as, "Captured" because of my nieces insatiable
appetite for knowledge.  The journaling reads:
   
"Good and interesting conversation are a necessity for me. 
I want to feel like you're expanding my mind.
I need my attention CAPTURED."
Open pages of the book:

More chipboard work painted with Shimmerz Paints:
All paint products used on the art journal is by Shimmer Paints, and you can find the names of the products and chipboard details on my Design Team post at Shimmerz Paints here.

The June 2017 Challenge:

Thanks for looking.

Wild Caught - designed for Shimmerz Paints


I was attracted to the dark murky dusty colors with subtle hints of cream, and peachy/coral colors illuminated by the light. 
Desperately wanting to create with this photo,
I quickly took inventory of my Shimmerz Paints inventory, and “voila.”
  I had all the colors I needed to create an art journal entry entitled, “Wild Caught.”

Come on over to Shimmerz Paints Blog here,
and I'll share with you some of the details of my mermaid's swimming hole,
and how to add texture to your shell chipboard pieces.
You better come quick,
because she's such a pretty mermaid
and I may have to set her free.
