Life is what happens... 41

Hi there! I hope you had a great weekend! It's the start of Stamptember over at Simon Says Stamp and I really hope you'll join us for a month long stamp party full of inspiration and celebrations. It's time for an all new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week's challenge theme is: bold stamping. Make a statement with bright ink, a large stamp, or otherwise be bold in your stamping! Whether you take a big chance in your art journal or try stamping onto a nearly finished project- we can’t wait to see.
I was inspired to create a page in her art journal using a bold color palette along with a lot of bold stamping.
I had so much fun challenging myself to create an art journal page using a bold and bright color palette with Distress Paints including broken china and picked raspberry.
The colors are so vibrant and seem to jump right off the page! 
After applying many layers of paint, I added various bold stamped images using the following stamp sets: Stuff to Say, Papillion and Fairytale Frenzy.
I might just have to step outside my pastel comfort zone again sometime soon!
Many thanks for stopping by! Please be sure to visit the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog to see what the rest of the DT has created!

Mona, I am becoming addicted to your wonderful style! The color palette here is divine. I look at all the activity and layers in the background of this wonderful piece, and it feels like life....all running into one another, ordinary days, hectic days..special days....each wonderful in their own special way. And then there is your fabulous sentiment tag that defines it all. In the middle of all that busy-ness, while we are planning and plotting and working and worrying....life happens. I say it to myself all the time, and it brings me a sense of peace and serenity, just like your tag does in the middle of this layout. It's pure poetry!
