Pink Friday!

* 2nd post of the Day *

I'm joining Clare for PINK FRIDAY to promote October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

I have used one of my chipboard journals again with gesso and used pastel and zig watercolour markers. I used a stencil for the hearts, bubble wrap and ink splotches made by flicking ink. 

I have used versamark and silver glitter embossing powder on two of the sides.

I used a bravura stamp and embossing powder again but it is quite hard to take a picture of!

hmm basque doesn't show to well in this pic!

How Do I...

I recently bought the Art Doodle Love book  - a lot of the pages already have colour layed down but not all - there are different things on the pages asking you to describe certain things in your life, memories etc - the page I used had very little on it at all

this is the opposite page showing how minimalistic the 2 page spread was.

I started by using pastels - I just scribbled them across the page thinking they would blend but they didn't - I actually liked the scribble effect and added more - (no mistakes in art ;) )

The only lettering that is mine is the 'how do I ?' - the the remainder of the sentence is stamped using 4 different alphabet stamps.

I have used copic spica atyou glitter pens for the details inside the letters and a multitude of stamps and inks (versamagic, versafine, staz on) for the rest of the detail.

I created the page with the 'One Little Word' Challenge in mind - the word is Do

Autumn Page

I wanted to create a page about my favourite season with all the things I love about it.

I used water soluble crayons for the base but it was really difficult to find something to write over it. I managed with a ballpoint pen but as I was finishing up the postie delivered a uniball gel pen which I tried on a small section and it seemed to work.

The Autumn and the black and white are acrylic paint as again I struggled to find something to go over it.

Hope your week is going well
