U is for Unique

Here on this blog I am going to share how I made the page for today's prompt on Unique.

I put three different shades of acrylic ink on the plastic bag.  I scooped the paint out of some Dabbers.

I put my page down onto the paint and pressed onto it.

There was a lot of wet paint so I closed the book again so there was paint on both sides.  That's how the turquoise paint got onto yesterday's page!  Siince you don't know what is coming tomorrow I suggest if you want a second print you use a piece of paper rather than the next page in your journal!

I used a brush to paint a thin layer of a yellow acrylic paint over the top.  I used a very wet brush and added water on the page.

I stamped the leaves across the top and down the side, inked the verse and quote and stuck them on.   I stamped the word.

I painted the green leaves using a brush and the lime spray ink.   I coloured in the word with a glaze pen.

I added my journaling.

I hope you are still enjoying the adventure.  Only 5 more letters to go!

F is for Fitness

Here on this blog I am going to share how I made the page for today's prompt on Fitness.

I thoroughly wet the page both with inks and water and then put a piece of bubble wrap on top.  The longer you leave the bubble wrap on water based ink and paint the better the result.  But don't let it dry if you are using acrylic as the bubble wrap with stick to the paint.

The result looked a bit like frog spawn.

I used two colours of distress ink through the arrow stencil.

I stuck the verse and the quote on after inking the edges.  I stamped the word and painted it with the Distress ReInker.  I stamped with two Tim Holtz stamps.

I finished the page with the journaling.

So only two more pages until I've caught up.

Thanks for stopping by

T is for Try

Here on this blog I am going to share how I made the page for today's prompt on Try.

You will remember that yesterday and sprayed the inks on both pages and then shut the book.

On the right hand page I sprayed some more lime ink and wiped it across the page with a wet wipe.

I used a Lavinia Dandelion stamp to print around the edge of the page.

Then I thought I would use the other two stamps from the set in the corner of the page.

I stamped the word and coloured it in.  I inked the edges of the verse and quote and stuck them on.

The blotches of turquoise arrived from the next page to be done!  I ignored it and did my journaling.

I hope you enjoyed trying out making a border with a non-border stamp.

Thanks for popping by.
