Practising Gratitude day 21: Give thanks

For 21 days in May I am running an art challenge blog called The Art of Practising Gratitude.  Today's post is here.  On my blog I will be showing what I did in response to the blog post.

Today we could choose our favourite technique from the last 20 days so I chose to use the paper napkin technique.

The next pages in my book  had lots of found words

so I turned to the next page

where I glued down the umbrella paper napkin.

I added my journaling in amongst the umbrellas.

Come back tomorrow to see my complete journal.

Thanks for stopping by.

Practising Gratitude day 20: Walk

For 21 days in May I am running an art challenge blog called The Art of Practising Gratitude.  Today's post is here.  On my blog I will be showing what I did in response to the blog post.

Today's challenge was to use whichever watercolour technique I hadn't used on day one.  This meant using the salt technique.

I made sure I had lots of water and colour on the paper.

I used sea salt.

After I had scraped off the salt.

The prepared pages in my book.

I used the feet stamp and Distress Ink to stamp footprints.  And stamped the word with black Archival ink.

I cut up the painted salted paper into strips and cut them into 'signposts' and stuck them down.  I stuck down the Bible verse.

I wrote my journaling between the 'signposts'.

Thanks for stopping by.

Practising Gratitude day 19: Love

For 21 days in May I am running an art challenge blog called The Art of Practising Gratitude.  Today's post is here.  On my blog I will be showing what I did in response to the blog post.

Today's challenge was to use Liquid Pearl through a stencil.  I decided to use a tag that I had 'printed' with the shaving foam technique.

Here are my prepared pages.

I put the Liquid Pearl on the stencil and then scraped it through.

I used the same stencil and Distress Inks to add colour to the left hand page.  I stamped the word and added the Bible verse.

I stuck the tag into the book and wrote my journaling.  I thought the pages needed something extra so I stamped the hearts.

Thanks for stopping by.
