Project - Learn by Anna-Karin posted 09/29/12 at 01:00 AM Galleries: Scrapbooking, Stamping This is my layout for this week's CSI:Color, Stories, Inspiration challenge, #39. From the evidence items I used: birds, frame, stars, bits and pieces, globe, book print, and I was inspired by the ‘learn’ theme of the testimony items. As you can see, I was very inspired by the inspiration photo and did something similar, but with stamps and watercolour. I first stamped a mix of images on watercolour paper using Archival Jet Black ink, I picked stamps that had to do with nature, play and learning. I was planning to first paint all the images with masking fluid, but forgot to do it before I started to paint. I wanted a soft wet-on-wet look in how the paints mixed on the layout, but to get that you need to work fast and there was no way I would be able to work so fast around all the stamped images. I painted the images with masking fluid, let it dry, then rewet the whole sheet and added paint on the remaining parts. All the paints were mixed beforehand to fit the colour combo. I didn't get the nice blending that I wanted to have -compare the bottom part of the layout where the paint flowed together, to the harsher lines at the top. A piece of old dictionary paper was glued to white mat board and then the little globe was cut from that. I inked it with Shabby Shutters, Tumbled Glass and Scattered Straw, using a craft nib for the small spaces. The journaling is typed on a tag tucked behind the photo. It reads: ‘There are so many fun and interesting things that you will learn in life. Every day something new. Hardly any place is better for that than among grass and flowers on a beautiful summer’s day. You can learn lots of things in books (and not only in schoolbooks), but so much more is to learn from nature, in play, in the world and the everyday.' Thank you for looking!
