hi there,
Big congrats to Beatrice for being the FS this week. Her gallery is filled with delightful and wonderfully done scrapbooking pages. I don't scrapbook but I am in awe of these pages and the way they chronicle her kid's lives.
Here is the page that inspired me: I Paint by Beatrice at Splitcoaststampers
The title got me...'I Paint'. Since I love to paint as well, I made a piece of marbled paper and stamped on it. The marbling is super simple; drip some alcohol inks onto water and slide your paper into it. When it was dry, I inked the stamp with Brushos and stamped.

Sharp intake of breath! THOSE colours! I am in love with this - and may just look at it for next hour - you got the painting theme perfectly for your case.

Wow, gorgeous card you have here! You make it sound so easy, I may have to try but somehow I think you have the true artist's touch for putting this together so beautifully.

This is so fun!! I love that you used the same colors as Beatrice's child. I think it is so sweet that she start him painting at that young age. I love your Queen Anne's Lace. :>)
