Wow, what a week we've enjoyed again at Paperartsy - loads of beautiful projects from the designers.
I only had time for one though, and took my inspiration from Ellen's ledger page, here .
I don't have a ledger journal, so used my mini ledger stencil and sponged some sepia ink randomly over the page.
Lots of layers of scraped paint, following Ellen's methods, I used Limelight and Chartreuse on my first layer then Honey Dew, Hey Pesto and more Chartreuse Love how the sepia stencilling still shows under the translucent paints.
stencilled circles and stamped the circle Ellen stamps using Honey Dew and Chartreuse (kind of mixed together) before stencilling the seed pod - didn't want to completely copy Ellen's.
Used the mini parquet stencil for my border, and a brown Inktense pencil blended with a water brush round the dictionary page.
and a different Lin Brown quote
off for an afternoon sport fest now, entering this to the Paperartsy challenge here and Country View Crafts - Stencil it - here
