Circle Journal Challenge 2009

My Circle Journal group decided to do a monthly challenge instead of sending out journals. Patti (My Happy Place on my blog roll) picked this month's challenge - green, brown, blue with a red heart. We also have to list all the things we used. I think I used almost every type of paint I have in my stash. :)
12 x 12 deep canvas, Liquitex inks - Phthalocyanine Green, Cadmium Yellow, Iridescent Rich Bronze, Transparent Burnt Sienna. Luna Lights Blue, Stickles Xmas Red, Alcohol Inks - Gold, Pitch Black and Cranberry. Savoir Faire watercolor - Gold and Carmine Red. Golden Gel Medium - Glass Bead Gel. Cricut Expression, copper tape and misc. bird pin. I painted several layers of paint on the canvas then used sponges to rub some of the colors off. I used my Cricut Expression machine to make the stencils and masks for the word HOPE and heart.
