This first one I had spray painted the background, its on very thin paper bag that had been sewed into my paper bag journal. I stenciled the letters and then outlined them in white gel pen.
This second one I really had fun with. I tried using the Ranger Color Wash inks that I have had for some time. I never really liked them before but this time I had so much fun using them. I headed to my local craft store for more colors but they no longer carry them. I hate when that happens. Now I will have to go online to get some more. I also stenciled stars on this page too and then outlined some of the letters with gel pen.
On this page I also used the Color Wash inks and several layers of stamping and then I added letters using both stencils and stamps. The image is a greeting card and the words are 'We are the night ocean filled with glints of light' by Rumi.
I really enjoyed this challenge, it gave me the opportunity to try some new things that I might not have otherwise. You still have a couple weeks perhaps this is the month you join in with the rest of the GPP Street Team. You can see other entry's here.
Kate, I really like all of these. I've never used the Color Wash inks but I like the results you got with them. I haven't done anything for this GPP Crusade yet but I have some ideas for it.
ReplyDeleteKate - great pages. I like how you interpreted the challenge, and tried many different things. Beautiful, subtle colors. I'm with you - can't stand when you get excited by a product and then can't find more. Rrgghh!
ReplyDeleteVery cool pages. I really like the range of colors you have used. I don't know the color wash inks but seeing your results I wan to try them out now...
ReplyDeleteLove your backgrounds with stencilling. I never used inks, perhaps now I will.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pages! I love the colors and the stenciling.
ReplyDeleteLovely pages, Kate...I think the one at the bottom is my fave.
ReplyDeleteOH, how I hate when stores stop stocking an item whether it be art or make-up. I hate also when manufacturers discontinue an item, such as a particular shade of lipstick, that I absolutely love. :(
I love these. The animals are beautiful and so are your pages.

These are all great. I love your stenciling on the top page. The silver just really makes it. But then I'm a glitter queen.
