I am a huge lover of color and using the color wheel especially in my classes and I love using this stencil designed by Pam Carriker.

This page is so simple yet super effective.
Let me talk you through the process.
I started by using a Post-It and tacking the stencil to my page so it didn't move.
I used a Pitt Pen to trace each segment. I had to use a waterproof pen so when I added the water, I wouldn't lose the image.
I then used Dina Wakley Scribble Sticks to color each segment, activating them with water, allowing the color to bleed out into the page.
Once dry, I gave each segment another quick application of color to increase the intensity before scribbling on a beautiful poem by Christie Ann Martine.

Simple, pretty, and meaningful - great little project!
