My journal page for November 1st started out looking like this...
I added some spray mist through Julie Balzer's Pomegranate stencil...
then closed the left side page over the stencil and rubbed. It gave me a nice reverse stencil effect...
I took some leftover strips of scrapbook paper, and placed them randomly on the page; then sprayed more mist
Moved the strips of paper to different spots and sprayed again, only this time with blue...
I knew I wanted to do lots of writing that day, so I rubbed some cream colored paint around the middle of the spread...
And here's the finished spread. I ended up putting blue paint over the cream, but left a border to show the stenciling effect...
I love the idea of not being afraid to cover things up. Using layers is really giving me a sense of freedom and I love that.
So, are any of you doing a December Daily this year? I'm thinking of doing a January daily instead, but I'm not sure. I purchased Cocoa Daisy's December Daily Art Journaling kit. It was designed by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer, so of course it's totally awesome! It comes with a free class by Julie which is also totally awesome (of course - ha). One thing I really like about it is that it isn't Christmasy, so it would lend itself well for using during any month. Check it out here for more info.
