New Beginnings Journal Page with Shari
Hi everyone, it’s Shari here with a journal page for you on this fine Saturday!
I was so excited by the technique Wendy Vecchi demonstrated at CHA …. I had to give it a whirl! You can see Wendy’s video HERE. I didn’t have the Archival re-inkers on hand so thought I’d give try using my Simon Says Stamp and Hero Arts inks. (I snuck in the new Audrey Blue ink which will be available Feb 21st! shhhhhhh). Also, I wanted to do a document type page, using a little pocket to hold a photo and my thoughts.
I like how the background turned out, it’s soft and subtle… just perfect for Baby News. It’s almost like glass when mixed with the alcohol, the layers are amazing in real life.
I love the Basic Pockets from Simple Stories, I can dress them up how ever I want!
A touch of Crackle Texture Paste added just a hint of Shabby to my page.
I’ve put together a full length video for you of the process, hope you enjoy!
Thanks for taking the time to stop by on your weekend!

I really admire your art, it’s so much fun watching you work. Doesn’t happen in my craft room, I don’t have that freedom of expression that I see you have. I look forward to more of your videos.

Did you use glossy paper or regular type paper? Someone has some exciting times ahead!

Great colour combination.

What a beautiful technique! I love the marbling of the inks. It’ so organic like layers of rock or minerals. Who’s having a baby? Aren’t the ultrasounds amazing, really makes you think about creation and the creator.
I had alot of fun watching you work with the inks. I can’t wait to do this myself. Your project turned out beautiful.
Like always a true masterpiece! I love it!
So pretty!!…would have never thought to use alcohol with the ink pads..
