AEDM ~ day 25

I didn't have very long for today's experiment and you can tell - 'cos it doesn't look finished!

I stamped with black archival ink using some new stamps from Anneliese and then put a very thin coat of gesso over.   When it was dry I used Distress Stains over the top - Weathered Wood, Wild Honey and Peeled Paint.  I used a wet paint brush to blend them and after drying wiped the ink off with a baby wipe.    Then I stamped over the images with Distress Ink.

AEDM ~ day 24 ~ Thanksgiving

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in the UK but I thought I would use it as a theme for trying out various lettering.

I tried out the different alphabet stamps, that I have been collecting lately, around the edge of the page.  Then I tried out 5 different styles of lettering that I found in copies of Somerset Studio.   I used Ranger Distress Inks for the background - Seedless Preserves and Ripe Persimmon.  I used these inks to paint inside the letters.

AEDM ~ day 23

Continuing from yesterday's background and inspired by pages by Karen Grunberg and Roben-Marie Smith I did this page today.  I think the heart was better before I drew round it with the black pen and it is possibly too big in proportion to the rest of the page.  But then the whole point of doing these daily pages is to experiment.
