I stamped the rhyme from Lin Brown's ELB30 set all over the page and then removed the bits of post-it notes I had used,it was at this point that I should have put them back again and added more colour but hey ho!
I stamped a serial number from Sarah Nauman's Eclectica ESN04 in black and then the quote from JOFY25 set randomly in Red ink. I also used the edge of a credit card to add some random lines. I use the same red to stamp the ELB30 oats twice - had to mask off the bottom.
I would like this journal page to be entered in the Paper Artsy Challenge 2 - Masks
and
Art Journal Journey for Linda's choice of theme - Fifty Shades Of Red
Thanks for looking, Chris
I've scheduled this post as we are having some time at the caravan! Back soon! Chrisx
ReplyDeleteWow - the grass stems look amazing in red - a completely different look, and I love the background stamping. Hope you're safe and warm in the caravan!

ReplyDeleteChris, it's been way too long since I've visited! I love this journal page with the red weeds and background stamping and lines. The mix of black, red and white offers so much drama; I just love it!! This gorgeous page would be great for our Rock the Red challenge at Emerald Creek Dares, too! Sending warm hugs!

I like it!
ReplyDeleteThis page looks quite mystical, maybe the black writing in the background and the combination of blacks and reds, and the red grasses too, it's something different. I like it very much.
ReplyDeleteI really like this page. I forget about masking areas off so this was a great reminder. The oats in red is very dramatic and I never would have thought of it. May not have turned out you planned but it's a great page!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore your page!!! Is it just me or do I see a face in you second picture??!!

Great use of the colour palette, dramatic use of red is enhanced by the muted tones, and removing the masking tape half way through achieved a subtle layered look so good move! Hugs Ruth xx
