JOURNALING with a Twist! - September 13

Thanks Lisa.

Gorgeous job, Gail!! So artistic!

Thanks Carla. I said to my sister who is an artist, me pretending to be an artist is a little strange. She's going to give me some technique tips for the paints.

Wow..Gail, that is just awesome!!! I'm still working on mine...no mojo this time!!

Here's mine:



I used a stamp with brown ink in the background, alcohol inks on top of that and misted flowers on top of that. The white embossed part says {anything really}

Stephanie, I like all your layers of ink and mist.
Thank Lois.

Thanks Gail!

Wow you guys.. I have missed this whole thread! I love what you've been doing. Stephanie, the layers are really great. How did you use alcohol inks? I never know what to do with mine.

Gail, yours is so pretty. I love how you did the flowers and made your page all crinkly!

I'm going to have to try this today!

Great job, Stephanie!!! Love the layering and all your little "Mom"... notes. So true!

LOVE it Stephanie!! The layered ink is amazing!!!! WTG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks ladies!

Kelly, I just dab some ink on the applicator and then I squirted quite a bit of blending solution on top of that. Then, I just wiped it around the page. It works much better on glossy paper. Jennifer McGuire does quite a bit with alcohol inks. Check out two of her videos here.

Thanks Kelly. I had fun doing it.

I'm thinking isn't it Thursday yet? I want to see what Helen posts so I can start thinking about so I have ideas ready when I get to it on the weekend.

I had a hard time with this one! It has been changed a few times but this is the way it is now... I used glimmer mist on the background, stamped along the edges and used ink around the journaling and below the butterflies. I used the font 'Complete in Him"... I really liked the look of it. The middle of the flowers are chipboard and misted with different colored mists. And I doodled!!

That is just beautiful Lois... gorgeous!!!! It brought a tear to my eye!!!

LOL Gail.. I feel the same way. I have done a few pages since last week.... maybe I will start a separate thread for those! And this week it is Stephanie's turn... I am so excited to see what she has in store for us!!!

Lois, that is so poignant. It's just beautiful.

Lois, that is awesome... beautiful and also very touching...

Just beautiful, Lois! Love the stamped flourishes!

Thanks Carla!

Lois, that is just beautiful! What a lovely idea!

Lois what a beautiful thought. Love your pages too.

Lois, I like what you did-very touching way of using a spare hour.Very lovely thoughts.

Here is my journal #2 pages.Photo is somewhat askew! Used glitter mist and stamped flowers with different inks.Colored with copics and doodled some. Even copied a font by hand from one of the sites Linda had linked us to.

Oh my gosh Pat!! LOVE it!!! The doodling, the flowers.... the trees... WTG!!!!!!!!

Nice job, Pat!!! Is that a dictionay page as your base?
