Tiddly Inks is celebrating its second birthday this month, and in honour of this tremendous occasion I have created a page in my large vintage ledger journal using the wonderful "drama Queen". This image cracks me up - I so feel like this sometimes!! Of course, one of the advantages using a digital image is that you can resize it to any size you want, so I made her quite large for my large journal page.
The theme for this challenge was 'frame the moment', so I uhmmed and I ahhed, and then I decided to create an actual frame in a page in my journal! Here's how I made my pages(s).
I began by spraying Dylusions inks in some of my favourite colours (although actually they are ALL my favourite colours haha) - Bubblegum Pink, Postbox Red, and Pure Sunshine, then added a bit of texture with various stencils:
I then stamped a frame in the centre using further round the edge:
I added some more texture to the background by stamping with Basic Backgrounds, added some of the new GORGEOUS solid vine leaves from Doodle Parts, before scribbling circles with Liquid Pearls. To make the frame I just cut the centre out!
I chose contrasting colours of London Blue and Vibrant Turquoise to create the page underneath. These two colours blend to make the most lovely colour:
I put Drama Queen right in the centre of the frame, and then added some journaling - 'Sometimes everything just feels too much. Life can be overwhelming.' If I hear myself coming out with stuff like this then I know I am being a drama queen!
Thanks so much to Tiddly Inks for asking me to join them again, it is always a pleasure :-)

What a great idea, I would never have thought of using 2 pages-so effective. I love the colours so bright and cheery on such a damp drab week!

Wow! ....what a fantastic idea, just brilliant. Drama queen is fab, and coloured so well, I love your depth of field with your leaves. The background colours you've picked are marvellous, I especially like the contrast between the two. Oooo makes me wanna do a frame like that in my big music book journal. Michelle x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful vibrant colours and a great comment, I hear my daughter's voice while reading it!
ReplyDeleteKate, what a simply fab frames journal page. It's so vibrant and love the dimensional swirls !
ReplyDeletegorgeous Kate - love the use of the border stamp to create a frame - genious ;o) x
ReplyDeleteLovely work, Kate and she is a brilliant image. Love the Liquid Pearls, too - strangely enough I've been using mine of late and have had them for over 10 years! Enjoy your trip - I'm sure it will be fab and you'll have such a good time x
ReplyDeleteHe made me smile..... Fab stuff.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for the double page and frame! Do I take it that you didn't stick the pages together afterwards, and the second page is just viewed from the first but also stands in it's own right? Many thanks again for yet more inspiring pages.
ReplyDeleteStunning! I like it alot.

ReplyDeleteTHIS IS JUST AWESOME!! Love what you did, and that stamp is...... great!!!
ReplyDeleteI just got my Dylusions ink sprays in today! Only 3, but the London Blue and Vibrant Turquoise are 2 of them LOL
Do you spray your page wet before you use the inks, or just right on the page?
Absolutely stunning Kate...love the colours.

Love the journal page! Thanks for walking us through the process. I have very limited experience with digital images, but I do have a few Tiddly Inks I love. Do you smooth out the lines with a fine marker?
