The Documented Life Project - Goals

Welcome to The Documented Life Project. This is week one. This is a free program that you can still join. This week's Art Challenge: Book Paper, and this week's Journal Prompt: Be Your Own Goal Keeper
This is the finished two page spread:

Prep Page

 I used a really pretty paper napkin, some music paper, crossword puzzle paper, and book pages. I used Collage Pauge under and over. Yellow Silks Acrylics were added, and a stencil was sprayed with orange. Purple dauber added. Black ink stamps.

The lift up card had the same prep. I added the words that I printed with a tilt to the word box and I attached it with Fibatape and homemade washi tape. Added black ribbon to flip open where I can keep my goals under.

The stamp was a Julie Nutting, Prima Keira doll that I colored with spectrum Noirs. I added a 2015 calendar and more washi tape. I finished with some blobs of white acrylic paint.

Another Good Day Gelli Printing, Inktense Watercoloring and More

I got a new stamp this weekend by Julie Nutting for Prima called Keira. I stamped her on cardstock and made a mask. First, I used the leftover cardstock that the image was used for and taped that down to my journal page. I put down a dot mask and sprayed with green. I removed that and taped, with easy remove double sided tape, the real mask. Then I added acrylic paints over a variety of stamps and left over cut outs from previous projects. A nice spray of yellow and orange on top of that. Then, I removed the mask and stamped the image down. I grabbed some Inktense blocks to color the girl and discovered that Inktense can be used like watercolors by using a waterbrush directly on the sticks! Did everybody but me know that???? Goodness she looked happy, and so was I, so "another good day"!

On to some Gelli printing. I LOVE the new small sized one. I can print on file cards and have perfect pieces to cut for my cardmaking, or layer them for a different background to an art journal page!

 

And, finally, some fun with molding paste and a stencil with something I learned from a Carolyn Dube video. It is a pay for video, very short, but with some fun techniques that I don't feel right sharing, but I just wanted to show my page, ready for more!

Thanks for stopping by. Please leave me a comment if you have the time to do so!
