Our group shares their post on the 15th of each month. Here is my page for the month. I went with bright, cheerful colors.
Here is a picture of the page before I can to decorate it. I used Tattered Angels High Impact Paint in Orange and Yellow. I used two different sheets of paper from the Canvas Corp Collection: Heirloom Collection Brushes on Ivory and Black and White Newsprint. I also used a bright pink acrylic paint to round out the paints I used. The newsprint paper was colored more intensely and used for accents on the page.
I had bought a new shaped die cut and used that on my page. I cut the shapes from the colored newsprint paper. I added black thread behind each large grouping of the shapes.
Brushes were fussy cut from the Brushes on Ivory paper. I used these brushes on both pages.
I had found an old alphabet stamp where the letters were in individual squares. I stamped them on painted paper and heat embossed them so they popped. I fussy cut out each letter. I had to stamp the alphabet around 5 times to get the letters I needed.
I added a few of the painted shapes around the page. I also have stick stamps with circles on the ends and I stamped them around the page to bring a little more black into the design.
You can see some of the different elements I used to add more texture to the page. I used bubble wrap and pink paint and stamped around the pages in different areas. I also have a script stamp I love to use and I stamped that in a bright pink ink.
I also stamped an art quote in black on this page.
This spread was great fun to make. I love the bright colors. March can be very dreary and I wanted to bring a little brightness into my corner of the world. Pretty soon our flowers will be blooming and adding color to our landscape.
Thanks for stopping by.
