Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. Psalms 51:12-13
Yes! I found my mixed media journal! It is 7"x10" Canson 98 lb mixed media. I wished I put dates on the pages done, so I could tell how long it has been hidden. I think I will start dating them, so next time I misplace it and find it again, I will know how long it had been. So, I am going to join in the fun over at **Art*Journal*Journey* for their challenge Play it Again Sam, to be inspired by our favorite movie or song.
One of our favorite movies was Charade with Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn in 1963, taking place in Paris. We have watched it many times, and I never get tired of it! But I am a fan of both of the stars. We also love the theme music by Henry Mancini. It is a mystery and love story, but lite. Here is a link to the movie. At least listen to the theme music.
Here is my page: First I sprayed Oxide inks on it in Spring colors, also complementary colors. Pickled Raspberry, Cracked Pistachio. After spraying, I put a wet stencil on the page for a few moments and pressed down with an acrylic block.

| I stamped the title, and year around some stamped music in archival black ink. I also did black ink through a word stencil. I did add some more green oxide ink on the edges. I had even mixed a paste of the pistachio with some paste and mint julip radiant pearls to put through a stencil. I didn't like it so rubbed it off. I stamped with a Paris inchie, and a face that I thought was elegant as Audrey Hepburn. There is a key scene at a stamp show, and that is why I put several stamps on here. |

| And a close up of my writing! Ugh! |
I hope you do watch the movie, or at least listen to the theme at the beginning, because I can't get how good it was across to you on this page.
This is also for the Try It On Tuesday Challenge to use Spring Colors. And, besides that we think of Spring Time in Paris. :)
I also did this for the April Mixed, Messy & Joyful Challenge on Splitcoaststampers.
Now, for my ticket to the TSFT party over at Altered Book Lover hosted by Bleubeard & Elizabeth. Post a drink reference and join us.
I had forgotten to show off a tea cup that I got for Christmas. The box it came in was so pretty it and the contents were still sitting on my dresser!
That is it for today. Waving to the t gang. To all of you have a wonderful week! Thank you for stopping by.
