Happy Surprise!

I suffered from a headache all day today, and after I realized that pretending to sleep was not going to make it go away, I went to go play in my studio.  I love my Scrappy HeART journal because some of the pages are very small and not as overwhelming.  I decided to paint a small page purple with my new cheapie water colors.  Then I took a stencil and sprayed Color Mists on the page.  After I removed the stencil and dabbed it with a paper towel, this is what remained...

Yummy...it actually took on the look of batik.  Boy, was I completely surprised and extremely happy with the results.  This is what I did with the page once I stopped staring at it in awe...

I kept the page simple because I really love the background.. .I almost didn't art on it at all!  See, sometimes you just have to PLAY!
