Here is my page. I paraphrased the inspiration quote as I felt it fit better with my main image.
Basic details on the makings of this: I started with my version of the Wrinkle Free Distress technique. I smooshed (technical term) randomly Distress Inks in Fired Brick, Faded Jeans and Tea Dye onto my craft mat and misted heavily with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Vanilla Breeze and Antique Brass. I then placed my paper in the wet ink and ran my hands on the back to spread out the wet ink to all the edges.
Using a finger sponge dauber, I applied Claudine Hellmuth's blank canvas paint randomly over the background. Since I grabbed a finger dauber that is usually used for blue inks, the dots have a blue tint.The image was found on the Internet and cut out and taped onto the background. The letters were written with a combination of Copic markers, Faber-Castell PITT artist pens and an inkssentials opaque pen.I personally am dedicating this to my sister!! Love ya!Hope you will join the journaling adventure! I look forward to seeing your take on this inspiring quote!'Till next time
