I use white acrylic paint and my ALL BLOOMS stencil. I did a white on white monotype. I took a monotprinted scrap that was rainbow colored. I used CUTplorations Zen Coffee Cup Layering Dies to cut out the cups. I layered the cups and covered over the top with Aleene's tacky glue. It makes it look like porcelain. Then I then used embroidery floss to do Japanese stab binding to make this abstract print into an art journal. (Sssssh I am giving you a HINT. All three of my project this week have a common theme besides using stencils. That theme is THE HINT of what is to come with my challenge next week. )

Wow, MariLynn, your cup looks beautiful. If the binding is your hint, I'll give it some thought as I tend not to make projects I can't use, and journalling is alien to me.

MariLyn your projects should come with a warning - I must remember to sit down before I click on a link to your gallery. Wow this is fabulous. Ive read what you have done 3 times, I'm still scratching my head in awe.

Hmmmmm a mystery for the week. I too am no journal-er, I have all these thoughts and then when I want to write, nothing is there. Maybe nothing is there all the time???? I just love this Zen coffee cup and your book binding is great. I do like the thought of book binding, not sure how I would do that.
