Vintage Passion

Good Morning Folks!

Donna-Marie here to share my new journal spread.

Many of you know that I adore vintage clothing, fabrics, patterns and styles.

Well these journal pages were the inspiration and are dedicated to that passion.

Here is how they started ...

I love my Aquarelle Water Soluble Crayons... 

I just scribble and wet...

I used a baby wipe to help me blend the colors better.

I wanted to add some bright green to the open areas so I mixed water and Key Lime Silk Paints in a spray bottle to make a soft shimmery wash (Thank you Donna Downey for that idea!!).  I also used Fresh Lime Dylusions Spray (later you will see the Higgins India Ink).

This is the base I worked from...now it is time to add the details

I used my Gel Medium and added an old print I printed out on my computer and a picture of an old shoe I cut from a calendar.  I also added Wendy Vecchi's Translucent Modeling Paste through my new TCW Peacock Doily Stencil.  I let that all dry!

Then I took a baby wipe again and moved the water soluble media around again.  This enhanced the stenciled designs. 

I stamped Dyan Reaveley Couture design on G45 Bohemian Paper and fussy cut them out.  I adhered them with more Gel Medium.  I also added some of the left over scrapes to the left side.

I added some Tim Holtz Rub Ons and splats of Black India Ink.  The splats did not really seem to work ...so luckily I was able to wipe some of them away with a baby wipe :-)

The baby wipe mixed with the black India Ink really toned down a lot of the brightness.  I also added my sentiment stamped on more Bohemian G45 Paper.  I tore it and applied it with Gel Medium.

I felt like it still needed a pop of color so I grabbed my Blue/Purple Gelato sticks,...smeared and rubbed!!
