Hello Creative Friends..
Welcome to February and a new challenge over at Paperbabe Stamps.
It's *Anything Goes* this month so why not pop on over HERE and share
your creativity, we'd love to see what you have been up too.
There's a prize for one lucky randomly chosen winner...
Here's what I got up to in my journal page
along with those *How to Do's*
Blending scattered straw DI through the Paperbabe stripes stencil
modelling paste was pushed through it's partnering gears stencil.
Sketching a large heart I stamped facial features onto rice paper
allowing me to position the face exactly where I wanted it.
Glued down I used scraps and snippets of lace to add dimension around
the heart and to the surrounding outer edges of the journal pages.
Wavy pencil lines represent her flowing locks with Grunge paste adding texture.
Sketched arms give that heart a big hug, with background colours inspired
by the scattered straw and encouraged with Ochre acrylics and neo IIs.
Gentle pencil shading over the raised areas reveal those hidden gears.
White gesso helps bring out those lacy areas, blend those
colours into the background and bring the heart to the forefront.
My double page journal spread is complete.
I think I will call this piece *Hold on to your HeART...*
It is the month for love after all...
Thank you for popping on over today,
wishing you all a happy and creative week ahead.
Take good care everyone
Big Hugs & Creative wishes
