What a gorgeous morning we have here in Notts! Fabulous bright blue sky and brilliant sunshine albeit with a slightly chilly wind but much better than the grey and drizzle we had yesterday.
I really love the current PaperArtsy Blog Challenge topic of Typography, Fonts and Quotes and I have made a second entry.. Already there has been a lovely project Pavla Hozikova and of course, the inspirational intro from Darcy. Unusually for me this entry is a journal page in my 'Sam's Journal' (so called because it was a gift from my friend). I'm not very good at this journalling lark but do try to swipe left over paints and inks from other projects onto pages (when I remember) and then have a go at a later date.
This started off weeks ago as random brayering of leftover Fresco Finish paints in Nougat, Blush, Rose and Taupe and I'd stamped in Coffee Archival ink with a PA script stamp.
I then just started adding layers of stencilling, stamping and some left over diecuts.
I've used Fresco Finish paints and Archival Inks for stamping and stencilling.
I also stamped some circles with a Colourbox white pigment ink and clear embossed it. There's a bit of white pen inside the diecut 'holes' and a little Treasure Gold here and there.
Finally I stamped the quote onto card, cut it up, roughed up the edges and inked them before sticking them to my page and adding a bit of graphite pencil round the pieces.
Everything I used on this page is from PaperArtsy!
As I said I don't really know what I'm doing with journalling but I enjoyed the play and although many would probably think the colours are rather dull they are right up my street, lol!
I might be back with some more entries before the two weeks are up on this challenge, lol! Have a good day everyone.
Hugs
