Journal - Dots

My choice - for this one I chose to do an unpainted background using Vintage Photo and Squeezed Marmalade.  Well, I had to have some Distress Inks in somewhere.  I was a little disappointed that the Vintage Photo did not show up more, it really was hard to get some colour on the page, despite reinking the pad.  Anyway, we kind of got there and I added some circles through a stencil designed by my friend Tracy Weinzapfel, which I love.  It is called "Bubbles" an easy to remember name if you have ever met Tracy.  For the stencil I introduced a third colour - Aged Mahogany.  A firm favourite of mine.  Luckily "Bubbles" has lots of "dots" as well.  A few more through an un-named stencil on two corners with Ground Espresso (so I cheated and used 4 colours!).

Then I got stuck!

Suddenly inspiration struck.  I have a friend called "Dot" and so I could have a character called "Dot" - now what to do with her and which one to use - it is not 'my' friend Dot so no look-alike needed.  In the end I put two figures on, the one on the right is Dot.  She is obviously taking her grey cat for a walk (telling you the colour as it looks white on here) but he certainly does not look pleased does he?


Wonder what Wendy has done???
