Mini Journal Entry

 

For my third spread, I used this Paperbag Studios

stamp which I recently bought.

It was a "previously loved" purchase

(or second hand to some)

I added gesso to the pages & then

stamp the images onto each side.

I then stamped them again in Versamark

black ink so I could cut out the two gentlemen.

I added brown distress inks to the newscript background

in 3 shades to add an aged look.

Then I stamped the mini harlequin on either side.

I also added a few swirly bits along the edging.

Finally I stuck my men over the top of the

original images & added the Xcut - cogs

die cut from black card with a spinner.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



I wanted to play with ink & paper

but had no clear idea in my mind other

than I had two cards to make.

In the end, this was not used for either!

This is just a "sparesy" hanging around

until needed. 

I wanted lots of layers.



 

I made the postcard from a scrap of watercolour paper

& a Papermania stamp along with sequin waste & my

newest Shadow Inks by Hero Arts;

Raspberry Jam and Green Hills...

Yummy! Are they just the most edible colours.

I used other Papermania stamps,

Madame Payraud paper, swirl die cuts

& the stamp is another "Previously loved"

purchase I made.

I also used a Hero Arts definition stamp.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

and finally...

some of you may wonder where I have been craft wise.

Ive made a commissioned wedding card,

which I can not share with you until 21st June.

A leaving/new job card which I can not share until

next Friday and a birthday card I can not share

with you until next Sunday!! 

I have an 8x8 scrap layout almost complete.

I have an art journal page which is half done

& a few projects in the pipe line..
