A Rose is a Rose

This page is not typical of an Eezy Peezy Journal page it was a challenge by a fellow journal addict Ansota, you can find her blog here. She specified what was to be used and this is the result so far.
To explain the process:
Step 1 First I used green and red acrylic paint on two pages which I then rubbed together to get the texture. Watered down black acrylic paint was washed over various parts just to dull it a bit.
Step 2 A serviette with roses was randomly placed on the right hand page with nothing particular in mind.
Step 3 Washed over again with watered down black to take any shine off the page and dabbed with carlton paper.
Step 4 Let everything dry and then stand back to see if anything comes to mind and I saw a face on the right side of the page in between the roses.
Step 5 The face was painted and the roses in her hair looked a little off balance so I added another one on top.
Step 6 Go to bed ;o)
Step 7 Stencil was placed over both pages and gently dabbed onto the page, I didn't want it to look flat so it has a slight graduation of colour.
Final step.... wait and see.

Inspired by the words I heard in a song... this time I will learn to dry my own tears. I was thinking about my children all leaving home. It has been hard, but comforting to know they are all happy.

Journal page

This journal page started out really badly. I wasn't happy with the background and the huge big flower on the right started out as a burgundy colour stamp which I didn't like. The lesson here is to never think your page is done until it is. Keep going add new colours and pens that you might not normally use... just continue the worst that can happen is that you will end up learning what not to do next time.

Fun journal page

 

I have journal that I am playing with every colour combination I can think of and deliberately trying to use colours and patterns I don't normally use and I am loving it.

 

Journal Page

Make a background on card stock I always us cartridge paper then I cut the little palm tree flowers out and glued them onto another background. First I wrote in a white pen for some texture and then added the quote.

Journal Pages

First I painted a background on some card and then used that to cut out some flowers used on this journal page.
