Hiya Friends
Scrapbooking has always been one of those things that I admired from afar, but was never really brave enough to try myself, {something to do with working on a big size sheet I think} Well that was until just lately, when I decided to just jump on in and give it a try, And i'm finding the more I do them the less scary they become. I've been watching lots of UTube vids, in particular: KatarinaKrumeluran to get inspired.
And challenges help too.
Over on the Pan Pastel UK challenge this week their theme is to use 2 of something..
So with that in mind I set to making this:
I started with a gesso base, then I picked 2 panpastel colours, ultramarine blue and phthalo green {the only blue and green I have} I laid the colour down with the angle slice-flat soft tool starting at the corners and working my way into the centre till the colours met.
I stencilled some gesso through a mask, {pic1} and sprayed some tibetan poppy teal lindy's spray through another mask {pic2} the Lindy's has a lovely mica in giving the page a pretty shimmer.
Then I got to adding more set's of 2's.. eg: swirls, dotty papers, tickets, rosettes. As you can see all that's missing is a photo which is sat on the computer waiting for my butt to get ink in the printer.
Everything on this page I pulled out of my scraps draw {with exception of the word paper, that was from my DCWV Timeless pad} just trying to keep up my UIUing like a good girl.
And that's it from me today.
Till next time...
Stay Inky
