Hot colours

Hello crafty friends,  I’ve been playing in my journal and thought I’d share this very colourful page. I made the background quite a while back, when I was in a wild carefree mood.  The colours and patterns flowed with ease, as I wasn’t thinking about creating something, I was playing. I had nothing in mind when I started and wasn’t over keen on what I created but at that time it didn’t matter, as I had really enjoyed the process. I really wasn’t keen on it so left it alone. Until today that is! I fancied having a play with one of my images and after printed it off and cutting it out I flipped through my journal and found the background page. I knew it was perfect!

 

              

Using Andy  Skinner Stencils I started building the layers. The paints were Dina Wakley Media Line As I wanted a heavy bodied Acrylic.

I kept the colours similar using those next to  Each other on the colour wheel.

Using my fingers I quickly painted in        the  Flowers and leaves. I then outlined them using a tip applicator.

I added some doodles with a white Gel Pen.

 

 

I so enjoyed finding a way to use the page, don’t just love it when these things come together!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you soon
