December

On 12 Months in View today's theme is about the month of December.

Here's the journal page I did.

I sprayed green ink through the new Tim Holtz holly stencil moving the stencil randomly around the page.

I used Dylusions Christmas Borders stamps around the edges and half of the merry christmas stamp.

 I coloured in the trees and stars with silver and gold pens and added red berries to the holly.

I printed out the quote and stuck it down.  The drew round the paper with the gold and silver pens.

Thanks for stopping by.

Winter

On 12 Months in View it's the beginning of a new season - Winter.

And here's my introduction to the season page.

I scraped modeling paste through a Dylusions snowflake stencil.

I sprayed the whole page with 2 colours of blue Dylusions inks.

I put the stencil back on and sprayed silver mica ink although I didn't actually match the stencil accurately. I stamped winter on the page with black Archival ink.

I coloured winter with a silver pen and drew round it with a black pen.  I printed out the quote and stuck it down.  Then drew silver lines on the white paper.

Thanks for stopping by.

Gratitude Journal: Day 30

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 Gratitude.

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

I scribbled on the page just as I did yesterday.

And washed water over it with a very wet brush.

I used the damp brush method again to stencil onto the corners through a map stencil.

I stamped the word with Distress Ink.  I started with a pale colour but it didn't show up very well so went for a darker one.

I coloured over the stamping with a gold pen and outlined it in black.  I stuck the quote and the verse down.

I wrote my journaling between the stamped letters.

Thank you for following my Gratitude Journal over the last month.  Tomorrow on An Attitude of Gratitude 2013 I will be posting all of my pages together.  I hope you will pop over there to see them.

Thanks for stopping by.
