This weekend, I had a very quick, very enjoyable play with colour to prepare this week's diary/journal, based on this week's challenge from The Documented Life Project, which was to use at least 5 layers - and do a "high five"! Earlier today I passed by one of my favourite clothing stores and the colours in the window made me stop, stare and memorise the combination - orange, candy pink, aubergine and grey. While I was playing on the page, we had a heavy rain shower, followed by a perfect rainbow and then a glorious sunset. The sky turned into luminous hues of lilac, pink, orange and gold as the setting sun peeked out just below the rainclouds. So I just had to play with these colours! |
First layer - stencilling with pink, green and black blow pens. Then I started playing around with these wonderfully textured paper squares on the paper. |
Second layer - Relief printing with embossed paper & distress ink |
Layers 3 & 4 - Collage with various textured paper squares - and then - finger painting with pink and lilac acrylic paint |
The remaining paint was scraped onto the left hand diary page with an old credit card |
Almost done - my worktable says it all! |
Add some orange spray ink, 3 numbers, pencil for contrast, some blue gel pen lines and we're done! |
