Jeudi Journal - The Movies

My choice - black and white and "The Movies".  I knew I wanted to use this Tando stencil - love it but not used it and had it ages, so I was all set for my page until I went to the Art Specially Show in Holland and found an embossing folder.  That changed it - but for the better - I now really did know what I was doing.

Gesso page to make it white, stencil used for top and bottom borders with black paint and then the embossing folder done on black card.  A careful cutting out of the centre, two Dylusion figure heads, a bit of Gold (my third colour) paste and it was done.  Words?  OK just a simple statement!  I cannot think of them like Wendy does.


I did intend using my Viva Gold Paste but it had gone mouldy - instead I used my Metallic Rub Ons (remember them?  In a long line in a plastic container with a clear lid, several small indentations each with a colour in) that I must have had for at least 20 years - no mould on them!!

I just realised I had not written my post, the page was ready yesterday - Oops!
