Gratitude Journal: Day 4

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 ona Bucket List.

Today's art challenge was to use one of the techniques using Ranger Distress products.

I don't have many colours of Distress paints because I'm still not convinced about them but thought I would give them a try.  I watched Kaz Hall's video and then put some paint down onto the page.

I stood the journal upright and sprayed the page with water to get the paint moving.

I also rubbed some pale paint onto the page to tone the purple down.  I used two stamps and some paint to randomly stamp on the page.  When the page was totally dry I stuck on the verse, quote and the sticker letters.  I wrote my journaling.

Thanks for stopping by.

Gratitude Journal: Day 3

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 Acceptance.

Today's art challenge was to use one of the techniques using the Ranger Distress range.

I really liked the effect of yesterday's technique so thought I would make myself a famcy shape.  I used my Cuttlebug to cut out 2 pieces of cardboard and 2 pieces of clear acrylic - plastic packaging from a die.

I glued them all together using Glossy Accents.

I used a blending tool to put two colours of Distress Ink onto my page.

I put the ink straight from the pad onto my shape and squirted with water and pressed down.  Some had too much water!

I cut up the verse and the quote, inked the edges and stuck them down.  I used sticker letters again for the title.

I used a Glaze pen to put the littleblack highlights on the shapes and wrote my journaling.

Thanks for stopping by.

Flower of the month

I decided that I would continue using the Kaisercraft papers and concentrate on the flower of the month which is the poppy.

I collaged the papers together and stuck on some of the cutouts.

I printed out the poem, 'In Flanders Fields', cut it up, inked the edges and glued it down.

Thanks for stopping by.
