At first I was a little apprehensive about what to do. I had to keep reminding myself (and still do) that it's not supposed to be a masterpiece. It can be very private or something fun to share with your sister crafters. If you truly don't like it, you can just cover it up and start all over. The other thing that's so fun about this is getting online to see what everyone else is doing. You can watch all kinds of You Tube and You Stream videos and it's really quite fun. I'm sharing a few of my first pages.
I haven't used paints in years and the first few things I did were really just my playing with different kinds of paints. This first image was done with PPA (Perfect Paper Adhesive) and napkins on top of a layer of paint. Added a few stickles and a saying.
On my next few pages I just painted a base color, added a few cutouts and stamped some images. You have to be willing to play a little. Don't be afraid to slap some colors down and be daring with your techniques. It's all about the experience and you'll be surprised by the outcome. By now I'm starting to have a little more fun.
The fourth image I painted the base blue, used a stencil and a shimmery gold paint for the flowers, added a few stamped images and turned in for the night. The next day I started working on the back side and made the mistake of holding the heat gun too long in one spot and this image started bubbling up ... Yikes! What better time to try out that new crackle paint I found. :o)
Check back soon for more updates!
Thanks again for stopping by!
