More painty layers ...


I've been playing with paint, stamp, gesso and inky layers in my journal again. It's a lot of fun, but I don't think I've got this page quite right, it's a bit dense, a bit too colourful, not enough white space. But do I mind? No, not at all! Never mind, just move on and try again! 

Here's a close-up of some of the layers:



And a close-up of the words I added. I think the face on the Stampotique stamp just screams PMT so I couldn't resist this (it's also a little glimpse into my very stubborn nature haha!!)


Seeing as I'm on the subject of PMT (PMS) I leave you with my favourite quote on the subject, by Roseanne Barr.

“Women complain about PMS, but I think of it as the only time of the month when I can be myself.”

Bye for now..............

  9. Well I have to know...... in the PMT what does the "T" stand for??? I'm dying with curiosity. I personally think your colors and layers rock! You always do a great job and whenever I see the tiny, little picture of your blog on my favorites, it never fails, I have to go look closer at the "big picture". Apparently you love Stampotique as much as the rest of us? I love your style and your talent!

  10. I love it. I think the color is rich, dense, saturated, and deep, just like the feeling of the face. It's super Kate!

  16. I love it - well its pink, so what's not to like? I do love that Stampotique stamp, I've been looking at it for a while myself, and you might have convinced me to buy it .... I've never done the sort of gesso/paint layering you do here, and really must have a go sometime!! See how inspirational you are!

  20. Now I love this, I don't think it needs more white space, but I know what you mean though. I am still struggling with my pages as I think they need to be lighter. I've also been looking at JournalArtista after you mentioned her and I have an awful lot to learn still.
    p.s. I don't have PMT either!! xx
