If you want to join in with making an Attitude of Gratitude Journal through the month of November click through to the Challenge blog.
Here on this blog I am going to share how I made the page for today's prompt on Appreciation.
Today's art challenge was to 'use a paper serviette as part of your page today'.
Today's page started with acrylic paint already on it from where I had mopped up paint from another page. I really love these sunflower serviettes and use them quite often in my journals.
I tore off one corner of the serviette around the edge of the flower. I carefully pulled the top layer of the serviette from the other 2 layers. I brushed gel medium over the corner of the page and smoothed the serviette onto it. I brushed a coat of gel medium thinly over the tissue to ensure it didn't get damaged by anything I did later.
I stamped more sunflowers at the top pf the page using the same technique as on November 21st.
I trimmed off the excess serviette and sprayed lemon ink and orange across the top left of the page.
I added the verse.
And journaled across the page following the contour of where the ink met the serviette.
I love this page because it actually ended up how I had seen it in my head. That doesn't happen very often.
So satisfying. I hope you have a satisfying day too.
See you tomorrow for our very last page.
