Welcome back! Today is Funkie Time for the Design Team at the
Frilly and Funkie Challenge. The challenge is
"Going Round in Circles". Sue is hosting the challenge and describes it: "
Including circles in my projects is one of my favourite things to do,
so for this challenge I want to see circles, lots of circles, not just
one! Stencilled, stamped or even a circular project such as a wreath!"
I am with Sue on the circles. I love using them and creating them on journal pages. My projects all started from one journal page background I created with some painted on circles.
I started with laying the die cut circles randomly over the ledger page. I then painted white brush strokes outwards around the circle to create a resist.
After the painted circles dried I then sprayed the background with a mix of yellows and light orange distress stain sprays.
I let that dry and then came back and added shadows to my circles to make them pop. I went through and splattered sprays and white paint over the surface.
I cut up the ledger page into pieces to highlight certain sections of the circles. I then created a collage effect on each using the stamped leaves, sentiments and other images. I also used the watercolor pencil to outline my images in some cases to add additional shading and highlights.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
