I was obviously inspired to do this page by a page I saw in O (Oprah) Magazine. She has this section, I believe, in each monthly issue. I have always kept a list of thoughts and quotes that I've agreed on or thought were a revelation that I wanted to remember. I transferred them to these two pages and decided that I'd like to do this regularly. I chose just some of the ones I've written in my journals and I'm saving the rest for another time.
Supplies:
Gesso - covered both pages with gesso to give it some "tooth" and thickness.
Acrylic spray - I put some acrylic craft paint mixed with a bit of water in a spray bottle (travel size found at 99cent store), sprayed the background.
Magazine - torn out words, quotes and pictures
Rubber stamp - swirls for border
Black Staz On Ink - my favorite ink. Water proof and permanent
Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Walnut stain color for edging
Black and White Faber Castel Gelato crayons - for shading - can be used dry or like water colors
Green fine tip Sharpie Marker - Journaling
