I So Totally Do Not Feel Like Working!
Really I don't. But I do feel like telling you all about some pages I just did.
As you know, my lovelies, I belong to several Yahoo art groups where we exchange pages every month or every so often, depending on the swap. In BookArtz, one of the swaps we do is the monthly chunky book page swap. This year's theme is "True Colors" after the Lynne Perella book of the same name. The assignment for April was green. I just couldn't get my green going, my lovelies!
I tried and tried and every time I went in there to create green pages to trade, I ended up with some other project finished or started. But I had some luck the other evening.
I started out with 4 x 6 Kirkland glossy inkjet photo paper from CostCo. I used Lime Jello Color Mist paints from Outside the Margins to spray all over the paper.
After it dried, I laid a piece of punchinella with 1/2" holes on it and sprayed again with Tahoe Turquoise Color Mist. I put that aside to dry with the punchinella still on it. It didn't dry fast enough for me so I helped it out with my heat gun, removed the punchinella and wiped the excess Color Mist from that surface on extra pieces of the glossy photo paper to be used later in another project.
I used a Ranger Distress Ink pad in Peeled Paint (a green) to ink up a piece of regular (1/4" holes) punchinella and then pressed that onto the paper ink side down and rolled over it with a wooden brayer from Above the Mark.
Put a line of Bottle Green Ranger Alcohol ink on their stamper and drag it the length of the piece of paper.
Cut the paper to 4 1/2" long.
Stamp with Inkadinkadoo 'Illuminata' #903 with Versafine Onyx Black (my older, not quite so black pad) placing the image in the middle about an inch from the left side with the paper in a portrait orientation.
Add a line of Ranger Lime Green Ice Stickles in the middle of the figures diadem and spread it out with your index finger to cover the diadem.
Cut the green inked silver 1/4" punchinella into a square and then cut it diagonally into 8 pieces and adhere a piece tot he lower right side of the image's text with some Diamond Glaze.
Use a Xyron to adhere the rectangle to a 5" x 5" square of dark green paper with a quarter inch margin on the top, bottom, and right side and more on the left.
I love it.
Now on to Green and Violet for May!
