Do You Make Resolutions??

Bet you don't because you know you will break them, or if you do, you will break them by the 5th of Jan??

This year I am determined I will not break any and that is what determined my final project for The Artistic Stamper. So here is a Journal page, one of my resolutions is that I will do more Journalling - that I may or may not keep but I hope I do. I think my other resolutions will be much easier!

I have used Claudine Hellmuth Paints - which I favour over most acrylics for journalling as they are such gorgeous colours and being of such great quality they don't make the paper buckle. I started by painting on a generous amount down the middle of the pages and using an old credit card, drew/smeared the paint across the page. I then used the orange at the edges of the page and drew that towards the centre. After the paint had dried I filled in the spaces by sponging on and blending some Barn Door Distress ink.

The lines were made by dipping the edge of the credit card in paint.

I then used the Clockwork, Harlequin and Dotty background stamps all available from The Artistic Stamper. Masking out my 'resolutions' and then doodling here and there with a Red Sharpie Pen. The 'bubbles' were made by using the lid from a bottle of ink and, again, dipping it in the paint.

I really enjoyed this piece of Journalling - it was very therapeutic after the hustle and bustle of Christmas Day.

I have really enjoyed my time as Creative Designer for Jennie and Hels Blog but now I am done, so all I have left to do is to wish you all a Very Happy and Creative New Year.

Thank you for looking

Nicks -
