Remember when?


A real inky page from me today, 
sometimes you just need to end the day with green fingers,
 have spilled   paste on the desk, and had an issue with some tissue paper
 that refused to be put where I wanted it to go. Well that all adds up to a lot of fun.
I had the current theme   at Art Journal Journey
in mind when I began this spread,
where Chris is hosting.... If you go down to the woods .... is the theme.





On the left is the page, waiting to dry out, embossed with modelling paste through a stencil then water coloured.


The next stage was to add some stamped trees, the large tree on the left and group on the right,  also  the young couple walking were stamped onto tissue. Stamps are Stampers Anonymous and Sheena Douglas.
I added a bit more colour with distress inks.

Thank you for calling in to see me today, I always appreciate the  comments you leave for me.

  8. You do just as well getting green ink on your fingers as you do getting the digital art to work for you. This latest entry is simply adorable, and I'm in awe of your stamping abilities. Far, far better than anything I could ever stamp!

  24. This turned out wonderfully. I love how you tell people like me what you have done step by step. When you say tissue, do you mean white tissue paper like we use for wrapping or tissue like Kleenex? You know me...I always am asking questions. But it has paid off. I finally got some distress ink and actually began trying to work with it. Even posted it today and that took LOTS of nerve. Your work is just the best and I love studying it. You should be teaching an online course for old ladies like moi.
