Another Brick in the Wall...

Over the past couple of days when I was having my disastrous attempt at the last journal page (I do like it more now, it has grown on me!) I used some of the spare paint on a page in my journal that i had already used as a mop-up for some more paint...

This page started out when I was trying an alternative colour scheme for this page here  and had painted some (I think) claret and beach hut - but it wasn't right, so I washed over it with watered down snowflake, mixing a reasonable red-blue kind of colour. I thought I'd taken a pic of it at this stage, but can't find it.

Anyhow, yesterday when I was messing about with the stencils for my inspired by Michelle inspired by Dina Wakley page, I added some stencils over the top. Same stencils I was using on the other page, different colourways, and this time used the bricks the right way up.


and I am loving that swirl! This was in beach hut.
some black (the reverse chickenwire is still a big favourite) and then some snowflake to knock back areas for stamping..
wasn't sure what to stamp - didn't want anything much - so went for some of my new alphabet set (Dyan Reaveley) and some writing...(mainly because it wouldn't fit all in stamps)  I was a bit of a Pink Floyd fan back in the day...

and some scribbling with black and white pens round the letters

Then I flicked some black indian ink over the page too.

As this is also a layers of stencil page, I am entering it as a second entry to the Paperartsy challenge.

Looks great, the swirl was a perfect addition. And I love the reverse chicken wire stencil, must add it to my wishlist.

Also a huge fan of reverse chicken wire (had to buy that and chicken wire, as I couldn't work out which was which - too bad, eh?!)... and love your layered look here. The snowflake has given lovely muted tones to the whole page.
