"Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost." Romans 15:13
I am just playing along with the Scrap Summit this week; lots of inspiration! So, decided to play along with the Messy Mixed & Joyful challenge on SplitcoastStampers & Art*Journal*Journey for this month's challenges. Neet our hostess on Art*Journal*Journey this month challenged us with a Fur and/or Feathers theme. Our Challenge hostess on the MMJ (Messy, Mixed, and Joyful) challenge for September was Amy and she challenged us to us: Use 2 or more of the following: I used all, I think.
Something that shimmers I used Fun Stampers Journal Silks & Glitter acrylic paints.Clouds or something weather related I used My Favorite Thigs cloud dies.
A Face Three faces in photo.
The #9 (or nine of something) I used 9 Nuvo Crystal dots. (Duck Egg Blue)
Grit or texture paste I used Gesso
Technique: Layering Die Cuts Secret Garden SU!
I put gesso on my 7"x10" Canson Mixed Media page very thinly to start. Then I used Speckled Egg Oxide ink through a stencil. (Recollections) Then I applied the glitter acrylic paint. I found this photo of a scrap page of the event, that our granddaughter and I made together. I tore pages from a bird book. I added Washi tape, stamping, & a rhinestone. I wanted to remember this: our daughter took this photo of my grandchildren & I, watching a mother duck with about 8 ducklings.
All began with one of the videos on the Scrap Summit to use photos in your journaling that you weren't going to use in a scrap page. I wasn't using this one as it was in an envelope for unused but can't bring myself to throw away! LOL Something else I learned was instead of messing with spiral on the side, turn it so it is up, out of your way
Thanks for looking. You can see more Messy, Mixed, and Joyful & projects at SplitcoastStampers, and more art journaling over at Art*Journal*Journey. Check them out.
