Mission Inspiration - November
I used some leftover Tim Holtz tissue for the lattice background, followed by warm green, yellow & orange paints. For the nature elements, I used some stickers from Daphne magazine - which is where I also got my focal image. You can't see the sparkle in the photo, but it is definitely there in real life.
Colour Me Positive Week 30 - Creativity
This was so long ago I couldn't remember if the background paint or the stamping came first - but looking at the actual page, it seems to be stamps first, followed by paint smeared on by fingers, then I used a card to make the lines. This page has a little sparkle too, but I'm afraid the photo must have been taken in dull light and nothing shows up.
Colour Me Positive Week 31 - Sparkle
The quote made it obvious that this week's page should be about friends and as my BFF is also my sister-in-law that was easy. I took a photo from her 60th birthday celebration dinner, added a crown and a gold star. The background is a bit of a mess, but as usual, the page looks better in real life.
Colour Me Positive Week 34 - Best
I did this page for myself back in July, and it is perfect for this week's challenge from CMP. I used a page from a magazine to cover up some private journaling, and then painted out the unwanted text. See my previous post (http://jennyjotting.blogspot.com.au/2016/08/a-z-collages-finished.html)
Colour Me Positive Week 35 - Generosity
This was done sort of following a lesson from the Art Sherpa on YouTube, except mine is much smaller - done in my small Dylusions journal. The basic background shape is an arc from where you add paint in solid colours and also drip paint. It looks like a horizon with colourful buildings in the rain.
Colour Me Positive Week 36 - Travel
This gave me a chance to use a set of Tim Holtz cityscapes stamps that I have had for a while. I painted a very rough background, glued down a map and some photos of places I have visited. I painted over the map to reveal the word JOURNEY.
Colour Me Positive Week 37 - Change
Quite by chance, my nephew shared a post from someone with an amazing quote about choice and change:
Choice is the most powerful tool we have.
Everything boils down to choice.
We exist in a field of infinite possibilities.
Every choice we make shuts an infinite number of doors and opens an infinite number of doors.
At any point we can CHANGE the direction of our lives by a simple choice.
It is all in our hands, our hearts, our minds.
My page was simply covered in feather stencils and then leftover paint was rubbed around (using a makeup sponge) in the blank spaces.
Colour Me Positive Week 40 - Future
Here I've used my favourite technique of covering up the background so that words or shapes pop out. Lots of bright colour was used with some glittery stamp pad ink too. The page was covered up by the turquoise paint and then given a few gold accents with sunray & harlequin stencils.
Colour Me Positive Week 41 - Simplicity
On this page, I've reproduced a Mark Rothko painting on which to place this week's quote. Rothko's painting always look deceptively simple but there is a depth in them that is quite profound. I haven't managed any of that depth and in fact did not try - I simply wanted the colour field background for the quote.
Colour Me Positive Week 42 - Free / Gone Fishing
Rather than 'gone fishing', I've chosen my favourite pastime - reading. The background is where I used up some excess paint. All I did was stencil & stamp some script over that. As well as some pictures from Mr Google, I have included one of my own with Gromit (of Wallace & Gromit) reading a book about dogs, and of course, a DO NOT DISTURB sign! Some small drawings of books & glasses finish off the page.
The End
Phew - I think that's everything and I haven't missed anything else. I will try to get back to a regular blogging schedule so that the posts are much, much shorter. If you've slogged through to end, thankyou - I hope you enjoyed the art.
Keep well and cheers for now.
