A look back at this weeks makes. .

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies,  

From a very wet & soggy Gloucestershire,   Paul is wanting to rake the last of the leaves that Storm Claudia stripped from the trees,  he's welcome to that job with everything being so wet and slippery out there,  I will support him from inside in the warm and dry and make sure he is fed & hydrated!  🤣😂

I may just sit at my desk and create between making pots of tea of course,  I got buttermilk to make some Scones too.  

Lilian & Sonia have both made incredible Journal pages this week.......

Lilian 

Lilian's Description:

Here is my journal page for this week 

Started with wall stencil and some grit paste it’s good but takes quite a while to dry.

Then added some colour, blue and a bit of green kept it very pale 

Next used my Stamperia vintage library and cut out all of the pieces to cover the page, all the fussy cutting took ages.

If it’s still the tic tac toe I used : stencil, journal page, and a medium (grit paste).

Have a lovely weekend.

Forgot to say first time I used white splashes, not really my thing but thought I’d give it a go. No won’t do it again.  

I immediately thought it looked like a Harry Potter themed page, Lilian it's amazing,   your background inking works so perfectly with the brick work in your fussy cut pieces,   this would make a perfect card for anyone that's mad on Harry Potter too.         I love your white splatters but I will say that it would look just as good without them 🤣

Thank you so much for supporting the challenge XXX

Sonia's Description:

Journal page/ Inks and colouring/ Die cuts

I started by adding distress inks in Tumbled Glass and Walnut Stain with a brayer. I added some stamping using a Woodware text stamp, and some stencilling using a Lavinia Stamps stencil. I stamped the Inkylicious sentiment on the blue card and inked around the edges, doing the same with the words which are part of another Inkylicious sentiment stamp. I die cut the photo negative strip and the Tim Holtz butterfly which I inked over. The strips of words are from a paper pad. I finished off with some ink splats from a Tattered Angels shimmer spray. 

My first page in my new journal and I’m happy how it turned out 😊

Oh Sonia I was so happy to see that you felt like getting in your craft room and creating something,   Oh Boy did you creats something!!!  

What an amazing journal page,  there is always something special about the first project in a new journal,  it's like a fresh start.   I really hope you get the journal bug,  I find it so quick and easy to do a journal page knowing that really its just for me, so if it's not perfect I'm not as worried. 

Every technique you have done is perfect, I love that Script stamping,  its there but doesn't dominate, so that its not obscuring your pretty stencilling.   I recently bought a Negative photo strip die,  they are a great background element to display things on.  The sentiment is perfect and it wouldn't be a Sonia page without a butterfly! 🤣

Thank you so very much for creating a lovely page for the challenge. XXX
