I've done a journal page this month...not really sure if i like it or not but that's what's great about journals...they are a great way to practice new techniques!
Anyway. I just did the background by mixing up some acrylic paints and randomly painted the page, when dry i gave it a top coat of Gesso. Then over sprayed with some Glimmer Mists.
Along the top of the page I stamped the lace stamp from The Harlequin Rose by Chocolate Baroque using Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink.
I stamped one of the Gracefull Ladies from Chocolate Baroque onto a sheet of card from the DCWV Happy Ever After Stack with Sepia Versafine ink and then lightly dry coloured her using some inktense pencils . I distressed very lightly aroound the edge of the mat and the page with some Fired Brick Distress ink, which 'warmed' the whole thing up, sadly it's such a terrible photo that you can't see it!
The lace has been in my craft stash for ages and is a piece that I've just never bothered to figure out what to do with because of the depth of it...so I just stuck it down with some mega sticky double sided tape, added some another strip of tape, then pleated some cream ribbon, added yet another strip of sticky tape and covered that with a piece of white ribbon which I coloured using a "Shale" pro-marker! I just added a little ribbon bow and flower to one corner of the image to finish it off.
not sure how strong this will sticky tape will be so not sure how long things will stay stuck!!
anyway, thanks for dropping by
Take care
