When I saw this month’s grab bag now available as separate kits at TB&CO, I just loved the flowers and plants, Anais’ pensive face, and the lovely muted colors.   I wanted to create something that reflected this mood.

First of all, I digitally created an art doll using Anais from Rebecca’s portion of the Grab Bag and various other elements from the June Grab Bag.

I painted a page with yellow acrylic paint. Next painted a stencil (did this on a Gelli™ Printing Plate so that I did not waste paint and could use the impressions from the plate to create a couple of pages ready for another project),  Removed stencil from the plate and flipped onto the background page and carefully pressed onto page (to prevent smudging).

I used a circle stencil and Dylusions Ink Spray on blank spaces.

Cut out art doll and glued onto page and then added doodling.

Monthly Grab Bags are only available for a limited time once a month and priced on a sliding scale. Act fast for the best deal. For more information visit TB&CO Grab Bags.
