Gratitude Journal: Day 24

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 Values.

Today's art challenge was to use one of the techniques using water-based media.

Today I used Dylusions inks and Dyan's bleachout technique.  I sprayed with orange and chocolate brown.

I used the Dylusions leaf stamps and Archival ink.

I used a water brush to removed the paint from the leaves.

I used a paint brush and the orange ink straight from the bottle to paint the leaves.

I found a spiral sticker which matched the colour from the facing page (yesterday's page).  I added the title, verse and quote.  With a white pen I drew on the leaves and journaled along the spiral.

Thanks for stopping by.

12 Months in View Challenges

I had a catchup session for 12 Months in View when it came time to do today's art challenge as I hadn't done the technique challenge from earlier this month.

The technique challenge was to have a play with stencils.   I love playing with stencils.

I scraped modeling paste through a stencil.  I removed the stencil and sprayed the whole page with 4 different colours of Dylusions inks.

I dried it off and some of the modeling paste showed through.  I put a word stencil over the top and sprayed it with After Midnight Dylusions ink.  This was a bit too dark so I sprayed some White Linen on top.

Because I had lost some of the leaves I put the original stencil back on top and sprayed with water which took some of the ink off.

For the art challenge I sprayed the same 4 colours I used for the previous page over this leaf stencil.

My choice for a media I haven't used for a while is Pan Pastels.  These are all the colours I have.

I put the stencil back onto the page and applied the Pan Pastels.  I sealed it by spraying it with hair spray.

Thanks for stopping by.

Gratitude Journal: Day 23

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 Unwind.

Today's art challenge was to use one of the techniques using stenicls.

I covered the page with gesso and when that was dry painted over it with acrylic paint.

When that was dry I used a paper towel through a stencil to remove the paint.  I put 3 different washi tapes round the edges to make a frame.

I stamped the clock and added the verse, quote and title.

I wrote my journaling around the title.

Thanks for stopping by.
