kindness in words creates confidence. kindness in giving creates love.

I'm surprised the journals only arrived yesterday, and we have sold a couple of them already! So fast! I started my inspirational journal shortly after Donna's class. But managed to only paint the pages with watercolours as a background. Yes, I'm trying to get a perfect 'drippage' on my pages, if there is sort of a thing, a perfect drippage.

I started off with yellow watercolour as the background, added in green. With my paint brush, drew the  flowers with their stems. Added red wax crayon then green for the stem. Twisted two strips of patterned paper. Washed down the page with white colourwashes (drippage). You'll see the wax reacts as a resist and will resist the white paint. To finish, I painted over the whole page with Ranger's Distress Picket Fence Crackle Paint. Lastly, I then added the words.
