Layered Background Artist Trading Coins

Mixed Media Art Journal Page Inspiration with Mike Deakin

Hi Everyone,

It's my turn to share some inspiration with you today and I thought I'd create a whimsical mixed media art journal page using the new Collectors Edition No15 Stamp "Dorking Hen" and a few other fab IndigoBlu products (listed below)

When I saw the Dorking Hen I immediately thought of at least 6 ways to use the stamp, but all tongue in cheek!

Here's just one of them.
