October week 2: Love

The Take Me Deeper theme at His Kingdom Come for February was Love.

For this week's page I took the top printed layer from a paper napkin and glued it to my journal pages.

Then I covered the page with Gesso

I drew a line of gold acrylic ink across the page and sprayed water on it.

When the gold was dry I did the same with the turquoise ink.

When that was dry I sprinkled Primary Elements Lovestruck powder onto the page and sprayed that withe water.   I inked the edges of the page with Distress Inks.

I glued different papers, a heart and some buttons on the left hand page and wrote the verses on the right.  I mixed some Primary Elements Black Emerald with Glazing medium and put it round the edge of the pages.

Thanks for stopping by.

More catching up

Our second little trip away was to Derbyshire.  We went to a wedding in Sheffield and to the reception which was near Buxton.  We decided to book into a B&B in Tideswell and have a couple of extra days away.  Strange to say I have no photos of the wedding.

However there are lots of photos of the other two days!  But I have culled them so you don't need to worry.

This is one of the lanes in Tideswell.

And the view from the top of the hill across Derbyshire.

And another view.

We went a walk along the river and up onto the hills.

We managed to squeeze through this gap in the wall called a Squeezer Stile.

We visited Castleton.  This is Peveril Castle

A visit to Haddon Hall

A fabulous time.

October week 1: Transformation

For Take Me Deeper at His Kingdom Come we are looking back at the prompts for previous months.  This week we are looking at January's theme of Transformation.

I glued down some torn pieces of map, music and book pages and then brushed a thin layer of gesso over the top.  I wiped some of the gesso off with a wet wipe.

Using acrylic ink I dropped some ink on the page and then sprayed it with water.

I did the same again with the next colour.

With the orange I tried spraying the water first and then dropping the ink into it.  I inked round the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and then wiped it with a wet wipe before inking again.

I found bits and pieces to glue down and added the words.

Thanks for stopping by.
