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.

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.
