Last week at our craft meeting here we were given a challenge by Jill to use some packaging she had. Everyone was coming up with different ways to use it and this is what I have done. The background is a mixture of Ecogreen paints and Dylusion sprays. I've tried to use colours that I don't usually use...started well but seemed to have drifted back to my favourite colours. It's done in the Dina Wakley style, take a look here at her fabulous work. Dina always says to leave some white space, but try it, it's almost impossible. I always feel I've got to colour every bit of a page. These two pages I've done in my A5 Moleskine.
I love this page - VERY colourful and expressive. Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeletewow this looks great colours are fab, but i havent given it a thought what to use it for yet lol x sue x
ReplyDeleteLovely pages, love the hearts and the stitching adds great dimension. I have just purchased a moleskin book so hopefully I will do some journaling now. Tracy Evans x

ReplyDeleteAha - the white space... memories come flooding back... I agree, it is hard to leave white on a page!
ReplyDeleteThis page is gorgeous Ann, lots of lovely stitching :) x x x
I Love your use of color in your work and the stitching just makes it!
ReplyDeleteIf you want to keep some space white just use masking fluid, you paint it on, let it dry and work right on top of it, after your finished you just rub it with your finger and it comes right off, Its cool stuff!
Ann...this is gorgeous!! I love the colours and the stitching looks amazing!!
