Journal - Cats

This week Wendy chose to use the colours Brown and Orange and the theme was to be 'cats'.  I used my Dylusion paints.  Well, I had to as Wendy had bought me a pot of the delicious chocolate brown paint so it went with the orange and I introduced the turquoise. 

I used my brayer to add the two (Wendy) colours and used the turquoise as an accent with a Dina Wakeley stencil.  Didn't like how it turned out in the turquoise so introduced some circles (Tando stencil), and some stamping but still did not like it.  Then out came the baby wipes and I added colour here and there, swapping them about until I liked the background.  I really did like the background and was in two minds whether to just leave it and add words and start this journal page again.  It actually is more colourful than it looks on here, well, the colours are deeper, more intense.  Trouble was it was a bit dark by then for the figures!  Rethink!

So I completely changed my thinking - added a silver half moon (complete with eye and mouth), put the cats close together as if they were having a cuddle and wrote the words in yet another 'try out font'.

That's it!  Off to see what Wendy has done when I get back from my trip to Germany and the Christmas Markets.
