Good Morning Ladies,
How is it Thursday already?! This week has flown by.
Today's I am 'Reluctantly ' sharing a journal page that I started last week, the idea was based around a technique. You cover the page with a sealant like Gesso, allow it to dry then add ink, I blended 2 different blues to create a dark sky. Now here's where it went wrong for me, You place a stencil over the blue and use a baby wipe to wipe off the blue, I couldn't get it to remove only the stencil snowflake, it kept bleeding through the stencil, the ink would also smudge at the slightest touch (because it didn't seem to want to dry on top of Gesso. So I re-inked the background and used thick stencil paste instead, it still was a bit messy, but it still wasn't straightforward and doesn't look great but I had invested so much time into it that I wasn't going to give up. I allowed a couple of days for it to dry and layered the die cuts on Monday.
So here it is, no where near perfect but it's important to find beauty in imperfections! 🤣😂
I hope you have a great Thursday,
Love & hugs to all of you,
Sandra xxx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteI do love your journal page, it’s beautiful 😍 So frustrating when things don’t work out as we’d hoped, but it was definitely worth the time you spent on it 😊
Wet and miserable today so hoping to get in my craft room.
Hope you’re all keeping well
Sending hugs to you all xx
Hello all, after all the torrential rain we had last night, there is a bit of blue sky this morning, don’t think it will last long.
ReplyDeleteSandra I love your journal page, I have just bought the dew drop papers. I have seen that technique on Utube and wondered how the ink dried as gesso is a sealant. I will have a try and see how I get on, probably a real mess, still good to try.
How are the new antibiotics working, or do you have to wait for them, hope they will help.
Have a good day all, Lilian
It look fine to me After spending so much time on it of course you want to use it I haven’t been in my craft room all week I will try and go in there this morning whilst OH is at the bowls club I don’t seem to have the energy in the afternoons
