Passport to Art Day 24

If you want to join in with making an altered book through the month of July click through to the Passport to Art challenge blog.

Here on this blog I am going to share how I made the page for today's prompt.  Today's journaling prompts are about what you believe in and the challenge was to add stitching to the page - real or faux.

Yesterday I turned the folds to this side.

I put double-sided tape to stick the centre down to form pockets.

I took the page I had left over from Day 21 and cut it into a triangle.

I used a zigzag stitch stamp to make it look like I had sewn it.  I stencilled on the small tags and inked round the edges.  I stuck the verse and the quote on the page.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Flowers

On 12 Months in View today the art challenge was to watch a video and produce a page using the technique shown.

I started by painting my journal page with various colours of acrylic paint.

When this layer was dry I painted over it with white gesso and while it was still wet I drew into the gesso.

When the gesso was dry I drew on it with a black Sharpie and with coloured Pitt Pens.  Then I used a rub-on for the words and hearts.

Thanks for stopping by.
