It's Not What You Look At.....It's What You SEE!

I've been working on this post off and on.

Putting up different stages of the pages.

This may develop even further, but I thought I would share a bit of it today.



It has the main layer and then stamps, stencils, and pen markings.



I started by spraying water on the pages and adding several colors of Distress Stains in layers letting it slightly dry in between layers.




I then flicked water in droplets to remove color,

Then I sprayed a light mist of Walnut Stain in spots to kind of dull the colors in areas.





Here is where the fun begins....I wrote the saying by Thoreau on the page and added white paint dabber to stencils.

Lot s of white and black ink follows.




Here are stamped images from Dylusions and used Balzer Designs Templates.

Too much fun.

So today I'll sit out on the balcony and doodle some more. It's brightening up now and we'll watch the goofy kids out on the Parasail go up.

A million dollar view last night on the Bay.

I know Bill is enjoying the view. Last night dinner at the Marina Cafe was wonderful. The Gulf Shrimp were perfect!

Have a great week and be good to each other!
