Jeudi Journal - Don't Rush Me

Once again I used Distress Oxides for my background.  This time blues and pinks.  

My friend Paul came to see me on Friday and when I mentioned the words we had to use "Don't rush me, I'm Waiting for the Last Minute" he said - "well you have lots of clocks and numbers surely" and so the idea was borne.

I then used an AALL & Create stencil to put some numbers on the background with a Purple Distress Oxide.  I stamped a clock face and using another stencil (AALL & Create) and cropping it, I put it to one side of the page.  Then I chose a figure and decided she had to be seated and so, in order to fit her on my square page I had to choose a suitable head.

It fell to the one with the flat head and I used several clock and watch images to make up her hat (or top of her head).  

As I placed the various images on the page, before gluing, both Paul and I thought it would be good to have a contrast and so, instead of my usual colouring in with Copics we decided to leave it black and white for a change.

Here it is, my journal page for this week.
