To snap myself out of it, I decided to join the Craft Barn challenge, and make a page for the letter Z, playing with whatever came to mind. The choice of words was relatively easy as there isn't so much choice... I decided on zig-zag because it's such a trendy graphic.
I took inspiration from the latest product launched by Tim Holtz' layered stencils and used different mediums, layer by layer to build the page.First I used a resist medium, then sprays, then texture paste.
I added some stamping, the "Z" of course, then some bits of background stamps (Impression Obsession, Basic Grey) and some hand drawn zig-zags.
On top of the texture paste I tried different things to get a gold sheen : foil but the glue was difficult to apply, oil pastel and finally gel pen ! Gilding wax would have been better but in the right light it's not too bad.
I am entering this page in the Countryview Crafts challenge which is all about layers.
Hope you will like!

Beautiful page! I know the feeling, when I'm crafting the ideas keep coming, but when I didn't make anything for a while due to holiday for example it's hard to start again.
