A page for Halle's theme of...... Words to live by
over at
For this page in my 8 x 8 inch journal
I used a large stencil and sprayed it with a own mixed paint.
Next a rummage around in the bag of materials and lace to get some scraps for the layers.
I found another material tag , I thought I had been gifted more than the one I had used a few days ago, I also realised it was double thickness, so unpicked the stitching and saved the other piece for another occasion.
The quote on the Words you Need sticker [Finnabair] reads....
When inspiration doesn't come to me,
I go and meet it.
Oh that this was true .
Thank you for calling in to see me, your visit is very much appreciated.
I love this, Yvonne. I haven't had much success with mixing my on spray paint mists. Maybe you have some you could share. Eileen xxx
ReplyDeleteI like the texture and details you added to this page. Those fabric bits really dress up the page, although that stenciled design is really cool by itself. Good quote too! Happy Friday Yvonne. Almost the weekend. Hugs-Erika
