This did NOT turn out as I intended...
My journal page for our Country View Challenge, on the theme "Not a card", was to be Vintage, soft colours, shabby chic... Somehow we ended up with this bright, colourful and fantasy scene. Go figure...
I started with a Gelatos background on Gesso'ed pages:
I then removed colour through stencils, above Fibres from Visible Image and Tim Holtz mini layering stencil set #43 below
Then I used the star stencil from the same TH set and the Strobes stencil by Visible Image to finish the background.
By now I was well on the way to a landscape, with strange colours, yes, but I could see river(s), sun and stars... I retrieved some stamps and set out to further that impression.
I stamped a forest with Lavinia's Tree scene set and some Dandelions.
The Moon and Mia the pushy fairy... I think she pushed the stars in a maelstrom...
And finally Mini Mushrooms, the Large Path and some foliage (Berry Leaves):
And to reward you if you have read so far... the finished page:
I do hope you like my page and will be inspired to enter the Country View Challenge. If you do, you might win a £20 voucher for the Country View Craft shop. And that ain't bad, is it!

This is really lovely Crafty! It's great that things don't always turn out as planned isn't it, and I love how you've removed the colour through the stencil, so effective! Take care and have a very happy day, Sue xx
ReplyDeleteMight not be as intended Christine but I think it turned out beautifully.
