YOU ARE NOT STUCK

WHERE YOU ARE
UNLESS YOU DECIDE TO BE.

Tonight I decided to work on another art journal page.  I started with a technique I saw today called glue stick resist.  I used my glue stick and a few different Crafters Workshop Templates.  I then used Denim and Eggplant Color Wash and misted the page.  I wiped them off and some of the resist worked - some didn't.

Step 1



Next I took Wild Plum Color Wash and a variety of Crafters Workshop Templates and sprayed them at various angles until I had covered the page.  There was a lot of mist so I then rolled over it with a roll of paper towels.

Step 2




I then took some bright pink acrylic paint and rubbed it over Crafters Workshop Templates with a credit card.  I was not very happy with the turn out.

Step 3





I took some light pink acrylic paint and some smaller design Crafters Workshop Templates and used a sea sponge to add the paint.  This worked out much better.

Step 4



Now it's time to add my quote.  I chose several different fonts in complimenting colors and added them to the page.  I wrote the authors name in the corner with silver gel pen.

Step 5




Finally it is time to embellish.  I am not sure what I am going to use so this may take some time...

And time it did...it is now 2 days later.  I opted for some chipboard buttons and a chipboard ribbon slide and some ribbon.  Here is the finished page!



Thanks so much for stopping by!
