H is for Humour

Here on this blog I am going to share how I made the page for today's prompt on Humour which is my last catch up page.

I put an elastic band around the celery stalks and then cut either side.  I was hoping that there would be an obviously different print from the more open stalks inside the elastic band.

Instead of printing I thought I would try the ghosting technique as the celery was wet.  However it wasn't wet enough and I had to dip it in water and leave it on the page.

That wasn't terribly successful so I mixed some bright pink ink with modelling paste and stamped with it.  The pink mixed with the turquoise ink to make a purple colour.

Here it is in close-up.

I stamped the word.  Can you spot the deliberate mistake?  Well, okay then, it wasn't deliberate the first time.  I stamped the wrong side of the first U so then decided to do the second one the same.  I used white acrylic paint to stamp the letter properly!   I painted the rest of the letters with a brush and the ReInker.   I inked the edges of the quote and verse and stuck them down.  

I added my journaling.

I'm not thrilled with this page but it doesn't matter.

All caught up now.  Thanks for stopping by.

V is for Vision

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

Here are the two pages side by side with the acrylic paint on.

Working on the right hand page I put on strips of masking tape.  If you don't want straight lines, tear your piece of masking tape down the middle and straight edges together.

I put several strips on.

I did the yellow wash again.

Then I peeled off the masking tape.

I stamped the leaves again and the word.  Inked the edges of the verse and quote and stuck them on.

I painted the leaves in the same way as yesterday and coloured in the word with a glaze pen.

I wrote my journaling in the gaps left by the masking tape.

I look forward to seeing the ideas you come up with today.

G is for Goals

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

I put the doilies onto the page and sprayed two colours of Dylusions inks. And then removed the doilies.

I really liked how it turned out so decided not to add any other layers to it.  I stuck the verse and quote down and stamped the word.  I painted it with the ReInker.

I added my journaling in a spiral in the middle of one of the doily shapes.

This was really simple but I think it looks really effective.

Thanks for stopping by.
