Over at The
Mixed Media Monthly Challenge they have set a task for this month to use things around the house. I love this idea, so I didn't put much thought into what I was going to use or how. If I did knowing me I would over think. So I grabbed items, I have seen people use dress patterns before so found some I would never use again, some crepe paper and containers.
I layered on the pattern and crepe paper, I wanted the crepe paper to give a halo line of yellow n the background horizon. Then I added some distress inks to that stuck to areas that didn't have gel on them. then added paint then a white wash of Gesso to give it the pastel feel. I found the crepe paper was lifting so I just pulled it all off and love the look of the smooth area underneath.
Before I added the gesso I added some stamping with stamping with the containers with a pearl blue paint, in the photos I cant get it to show up but in real life when you move the page it is like there is light spots/glare.
I got the inspiration for this page
you hold by heart by Shari Carroll I loved the look of the trees and the background.
