Hi everyone!

This page was based on the Tag #10 challenge 'blind 6'. What I had to do with this page was use the same 6 products I blindly chose for the tag and create a page based on the background I created on the tag.

I think this background turned out much better than the tag background. And that's how it should be! We should take what we've learned previously and try to improve on it. I don't usually, but I feel I did with this one.

Having Fun With Shipping Tags No.10

Hi everyone!

For today's tag challenge (yes, I know it's been way too long since I've had a tag challenge) I had to 'blindly' choose 6 different products to use on the tag and only use those 6 products. You can use black and white as these are neutral colours. Also you are able to use stamps (black or white ink only), stencils, gesso, texture paste, etc.

So the 6 products I chose were:

Pebeo DYNA 'iridescent green blue' acrylic paint * Lindy's Stamp Gang 'bells of Ireland green' starburst spray * Liquitex Professional 'yellow oxide' ink * Lindy's Stamp Gang 'bratwurst brown' Magicals powder * Prima|Finnabair 'dark olive' rust effect paste * Tim Holtz 'gathered twigs' distress oxide

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
