I had a spread in my journal where I had been using up excess paint.
I grabbed the 9 x 12 April Stencil Club Stencil, and my Circles and Squares stencil, and started playing around...
I had cut up some of my Guatemala photographs. I started moving around three of the women from the families we sponsor, placing them on the right side of the spread. I glazed over the stenciled background so that it wouldn't be so busy behind these beautiful ladies. I felt like the women added so much depth to the page.
I had a shot of one of the streets in their village. I fussy cut it, and adhered it behind them. I added one of the trees from the Judy's Trees stencil to fill out the background. Then I extended the path through the village with paint to integrate the background photo into the page.
I added journaling around the trees about our last visit to Guatemala. I'm going back on May 4, and I can't wait!
