Green - Dawn Heald

Helloooo,

How are you all?

Well I expect you all know that 17th March

is St Patrick's Day.

Rather that get the DT to do something 

for that 'day' which I'm sure we've done before,

we gave them the colour green.

Not a colour that I would normally consider

to be in my comfort zone.  

Today we start with Dawn.

Dawn says.....

I've decided to go all out green in my 

handmade art journal. This page is a

 few book pages glued together to make

 a sturdy page. It may bring me some

 luck as I think I could do with some.

To make this page.....

I painted all over with various Fresco Finish

 paints. Using just the one brush and

 not drying until I'd finished painting.

Next up I used the Eclectica Stamps with

 paint to stamp randomly over the page.

Then used grey Stazon for the single round

stamp and black Stazon around the page edges.

Next I made some four leaf clovers by

 punching some hearts and edging with

 Pistachio Distress Ink then gluing to the 

centre of a punched circle. Then hand

 cut some strips for stems.

I glued these to my page and added my

 journal words. Finished off with lime green

 Stickles Glitter Glue.

What a clever way to use your punch!

This is what Dawn used -

PaperArtsy Eclectica Ellen Vargo E06
PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Paints - greens and Snowflake
Woodware - Large Scallop Heart Punch
Stazon Midi Inks - Grey, Black
Stickles Glitter Glue - Lime Green 
Black Pigma Micron Pen

Thank you Dawn, hope this has inspired

you to get those punches out and

have a play!

See you tomorrow,

Jane x
