Darcy Journalling 1

I am a massive Darcy fan; I know that I am one of many and was keen to have a go at the journalling challenge that will run once a month. It is good to try different approaches and one that is Darcy led will be an adventure.
I started in my new square journal by taping and Grunge pasting as instructed. good job that I read instructions over and over as I was thinking that you let this dry before removing the tape, but of course that would have been early disaster. I stamped into it for added texture.

I added all the layers of Fresco paint as instructed, ending with a neutral shade. I left the edges free so that a hint of the colours would show.

I sanded down the grungepaste and rub, rub, rubbed the flat areas with a baby wipe over various stencils. I rarely got down to the first coat as the page started to disintegrate in places. 

NOTE TO SELF..Put layers on more thickly next time. 

Also I couldn't resist rubbing a bit of Treasure Brass here and there.

As you can see, I stamped with JOFY stamps; drew and cut out a silhouette; added a bit of paint here and there; highlighted with gell pen and finally drew some seeds heads floating around.

So month 1 of Darcy's Journalling is complete. If I wanted to extend it further, I could always go back to it and add some dimension by cutting out flowers but today I ran out of steam!!

I have enjoyed the challenge and stored up ideas for future use. Thanks Darcy!
