Gratitude Journal: Day 29

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 Reflection.

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

I used Inktense bars but I could have use watercolour crayons or NeoColor II to get the same effect.  I scribbled over the page.

With a very wet brush I swooshed water over the page blending the colours together.

With  a damp brush I brushed paint from the Inktense bar through the stencil on parts of the page.

I stamped the title using DIstress Ink.

Then I coloured over the stamping with a silver pen and outlined it in black.

I wrote my journaling along two sides of the page.

I felt there was too big an empty space so I added some washi tape.

Thanks for stopping by.

Gratitude Journal: Day 28

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 Zero-tolerance.

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

I sprayed Dylusions inks over the page and put scrunched up cling film over it.

I didn't get much result the first time - I don't think I had the page wet enough so I did it again and yuou can just see the marks it made.  I inked through the stencil with Distress Inks.

And again at the top right.

I put on the title, the verse and the quote.

This left me with a large space.  I put down some washi tape to make lines for the journaling and then wrote between the lines.

Thanks for stopping by.
