Flipping a page gone wrong

Normally a page gone wrong - I will give it a awhirl and attempt to "save" it,

 however, on this one - in a "what was I thinking"

in using a honey comb stencil with modeling paste and

black enamel paint would enhance a page. 

Maybe less would've been better or maybe a different color

However much I really loved the black striped paper - 

there really wasn't any saving to be had.

So I flipped it over.

And wasn't I lucky it was double sided.

It was a bit wrinkled and didn't have much damage to the flip side.

I also decided that I liked the pattern.

So.....the watercolor and stamping commenced.

 The foundation was put together without a photo in mind.

 I was a bit concerned because I made the mat really big

and then of course all the layering that covered up the majority

of the stamping. 

I die cut those chili peppers awhile ago and felt compelled

to use them - along with the homemade "badge" I made - it fit perfectly.

I found this series of photos in the wayback box and

wasn't sure I had a digital copy so I took photos of them anyway

because there was soooo much dead space I felt

I could cut them down and still tell a story.

So its the new pp from Studio Calico along with that Basic Grey

that appears to be my "go to" for layering recently.

I even got a bit of journaling in at the top and the covered up

stamps are Shimelle's with ranger ink.
