Find joy layout

This layout is for the Hero Arts March challenge (stamp layering theme). I wanted to try the stamp layering technique on a layout too and had fun doing a layout in a different format than I usually do (landscape 8.5 x 11). The grass and text stamps were first white embossed on watercolour paper. Then I used the acrylic block technique with Bundled Sage, Old Paper and Crushed Olive Distress Inks and water and perfect pearls to colour the background. The edges were masked and I stamped the Envelope Pattern stamp with Bundled Sage ink for texture. The flowers were inked with Rusty Hinge, Wild Honey, Peeled Paint and Shabby Shutters and misted with water. The butterfly was inked with Crushed Olive and Wild Honey and the Leaf Cluster with Crushed Olive and Shabby Shutters. I wrote journaling on a tag behind the layout. TFL!!
