For today's project I decided to celebrate Topflight Stamps' birthday with a magical stamp set that I found in their shop. I picked this set partly because it's absolutely stunning but also because this sentiment describes how I feel when I get to shop Topflight's cool selection... I feel like magic has touched my soul! They have a ton of stamps, stencils and dies that are great for creating mixed media projects and I always want to buy all of the things! Anyhow, for today's art journal I used the Faerie Magic stamp set from Visible Image and the AALL & Create Totally Dotty Stencil. After spraying my art journal spread with Distress Oxide sprays I aded circles randomly across the background using the stencil and white acrylic paint. I also splattered the background with white paint and Gold Midas Touch before adding some scribbles with a black Stabilo pencil. 

Next, I stamped my faerie onto white cardstock and colored her using Dina Wakley Scribble Sticks. I stamped the sentiment onto some turquoise washi tape and adhered it to the page. Unfortunately, I smeared the sentiment a little bit but that's ok. For me, art journaling is about the process and I never stress if there is a mistake as long as I had fun.

After adhering the faerie to my page I heat embossed some of the cool concentric circles with dots onto my page and I heat embossed them in gold. A bunch of embossing powder stuck in the binding and I thought it looked cool so I heat set that too. 

This page was so much fun to put together and I hope you enjoyed taking a look at it. The rest of the blog hop crew has made some amazing projects to share with you too so I hope you'll keep on hopping along with us. Next up on the hop is my amazing friend, Angela Myhere! Head on over to her blog to check out the gorgeous card she made!

Bye for now!
