Content? inspired by Seth Apter for Paperartsy

This week, we have welcomed back Penny and Helen, and Elizabeth shared her lovely new stamps, but I was really taken with Seth's journal page based on a black gesso background, so that's what I've done.
I bought some black gesso a while ago but not really used it - I loved how Seth used it under the Fresco paints.. you can see his page here

 I used Caramel, Sky Blue and Guacamole over the gesso

 the same script stamp as Seth, as I love it!  Stencilled some circles from the TCW mini coffee splotch and well rounded stencils, using Honey Dew and Toffee

 used Guacamole on top of my crackle glaze - used the catalyst tooth comb to add some scratches

 added Seth's  stencils in Little Black Dress - the 'content' and the squares down the side (as I knew I wouldn't be able to draw face to use as a mask) and then added some Sage which I mostly wiped off with a babywipe and some of the small coffee splats with Caramel.

added some flicks of LBD off the end of a paintbrush (went everywhere lol!) and some white gesso dipped in the end of a syringe.  Also mixed a little Snowflake in a bottle of water and spritzed that.

Not very content with that bit...
Outlined the word in white sharpie marker

 and the squares with a  black pen down one side and the white sharpie the other.

some of this I like - the black squares, the crackle, and the script stamping, but the Guacamole over the crackle has got a bit lost, should have used a darker colour, not something from the background.

Anyhow, it was fun playing with the black gesso, and I am entering this page to the Paperartsy challenge here
