Hi everyone!

Today was all about using my tea cup dies. I recently catalogued all my thinlet dies by numbering them and adding them to a spreadsheet for ease of locating that one die I need LOL. Anyway I came across these tea cup dies and decided to use them on a journal page.

Hi everyone!

Using my favourite colour combination today - blues and browns.

I started off adhering some torn scrapbook paper to add texture before applying paint. I'm not overly fussed on the outcome though as I think I should start trying to shade faces. This page screamed for me to do it but I got scared and probably lazy LOL. One day I'll have a go at faces - one day :)

Wish Big Journal Page

Hi everyone!

So today's stream I decided to use my watercolour journal (gifted to me by Zandra). I had no idea what I wanted to create on the page and just let the girls in the chat lead the way, which they did LOL.

So after adding my acrylic paints to the page Kathy and Eileen said I should try to use distress oxide inks over the acrylic. OK, challenge set LOL. I must say it looked awesome! I really love the different shades of brightness from the acrylics against the oxides!

Once we were happy with the background I thought it looked magical so decided to add a fairy! That done, I added a tree to the page then the title. Voila! All in an hour's time too! It really can be done LOL
