Happy Sunday, Everyone!
I just finished my Documented Life Project Journal page in time to post it today. It took a little while to pull things together this time around.
The challenge for this page was to add ephemera from my week, Smash Book style. I still had stuff laying around from my week at camp, and used it and odds and ends from my work table to create my page. I will admit to having a rough go of it this time around. I started my layering with very unimpressive results. Nothing seemed to go together at all. My first fix for this was an over all layer of Gesso, applied lightly with a crumpled plastic bag. That helped a bit, but I wasn't there yet. I left it alone for a couple of hours, so that I could look at it later with fresh eyes.
When I came back to the craft table, I added some Distress Paints to recolor some of the elements, and a lot of charcoal shadowing to blend things into the background. Now I was getting somewhere. All I needed was to add some black and white lettering. Ahhh, now I can happily add this page to my journal.
Thanks for stopping by today. I wish you all a relaxing rest of the weekend!
