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..............
I really must pay attention......more painty layers............ I thought it said more panty liners! and as for too much colour..you can never have too much colour. Another fab page!
ReplyDeletejust love it kate, the layers are brilliant, you see the main bits first then glance around and see so much more to pull you in, the heads stamp works just brilliantly in the backgound, its fab.
ReplyDeleteI love it, such fun and says it all.

Yeah you can never have too much colour Kate!!! And I love that quote from Roseanne Barr, I remember haring her say that years and years ago - now I am showing my age!!!...x
ReplyDeleteI love the different flower stamps! I also gave you a blog award on my latest post =)
ReplyDeleteooooooh nice layers girlie....lmao XXX
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous colours Kate, and I agree with Effie you can never have too much colour.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to a playdate or even two in August.

Delicious layers, can you have too much colour?
ReplyDeleteWell 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!
ReplyDeleteI love it. I think the color is rich, dense, saturated, and deep, just like the feeling of the face. It's super Kate!
ReplyDeleteSuper colours ! I think, as a male, I have PMT then.......at least I often have the look of that Stampotique lady !! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat work !
ROFL at more panty liners! I love the colours and you've summed up the monthly sentiment perfectly!
ReplyDeleteLol! Funny but fab!
ReplyDeleteGet again another fantastic piece of art, stunning.
ReplyDeleteThe colour looks fine to me Kathryn ;-) another fab page and love the Roseanne quote hehe

Lovely layers and I love the intensity of the colour, not many words needed, you've said it all :)
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteLove the layers and the colors that you've incorporated, looks great. :0)
ReplyDeleteI am adoring your painted layers and wonderful colour. fab fab fab. have a brill day
ReplyDeletehugs June xxx
This is so wonderful....your colors are just so incredible! I really, really love what you created.
ReplyDeleteNow 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.
ReplyDeletep.s. I don't have PMT either!! xx
Beautiful art Kate... loving that quote too x
ReplyDeleteLove the colour Kate, the page is fab with all the layers. The R Barr quote made me laugh, I used to love her programme.
ReplyDeleteI love the density of this page with all the layers built up. What a fab quote too!
