Polly has given us a brilliant mixed media challenge today, we are to use texture paste through a stencil and colour it with brusho's.
The bones of these journal pages were started for a previous mixed media challenge that I didn't finish. They never looked right sitting side by side and I couldn't work out how to tie them together.
Pol's fun challenge solved that problem, I went berserk with lots of texture paste, brusho's and reinkers. By working across the book seam, it brought the girls together a bit more (you have to pretend that one of them does not have a head the size of an elephant).
My journal is very lumpy and bumpy so all the texture and warped pages look quite at home.
About the girls - they were printed on copy paper and coloured with Prismacolour pencils. Because I knew a lot of water and wet stuff would be used on the girls, I very firmly used a Prismacolour blending pencil to bring as much wax as possible to the surface.
I then used Jane Davenport paint pens and recoloured them. Basically the waxy layer of pencil acts as a sealed base coat for what ever comes next. Once the JD paint had dried I added more colour using pencils and distress inks.
I probably won't be leaving the house for a week...it will take that long for all the brusho and ink dyes to come off my fingers.
Thanks very much for looking.

The colors the textures. Each tiny detail is a delight beyond words. I look forward to doing more mixed media mixes this year. They are so much fun. Inky hugs, SuZ
