A while back Donna was talking about my style and she said she thought of paint because I use it alot -- this was right after we completed our Lucky 13 circle journal, on canvas, where I did use alot of paint. At first I was like, "Me? Paint?...You must be thinking of Candice McLean!" But then I realized, I DO use paint a lot! LOL Sometimes the things we think about ourselves can be so off from reality or what others perceive. And yes, I guess I do like paint ;)
On the layout above I used some white paint to distress the edges of the page, then stamped on that with one of Donna's new stamps with Colorbox Chalk Ink in Charcoal (gives a nice soft look), and added faux stitching with a pen around the perimeter of the page. I've always liked drawing lines around my pages and elements but at Reflections this month in Kelly Goree's class I learned that all of her "stitching" for her Basic Grey samples is faux -- I think it looks so real because she does very small lines as stitches. So I did my best impression of short little lines -- I am impatient so some of them are kinda big ;)
Thanks for spreading positivity!
