Spent the morning painting papers ready for making some more journals. Although I haven't posted for a week (how time flies!) I have been busy. Got up to date with lots of swaps for the UK Embellisher and UK Mixed Media groups. Also finished (I think) a piece using hearts for the main centrepiece, lots of brown paper painted and cut out and machined sections. I won't post a picture until I'm sure it's really finished.

Like the look of your papers Amanda how did you do them?

Thanks Annette, glad you like them. I use acrilyic paints (I particularly like the little taster pots you get in DIY stores). I spread blobs on with an old credit card and then stamp on top using a variety of rubber stamps, bubblewrap, anything that will make a mark. Sometimes I spread paint on an old plastic chopping board and scribble a design in it and then print using that.
