Texture

Yesterday I finally got back into the groove of being home after our 10 day summer vacation. I now feel in summer mode...and I love it! Summer mode is when I can go up to my happy place in an old T shirt and shorts after breakfast and lose track of time. It doesn't matter if I don't eat lunch until 2 o'clock or even later. It doesn't even matter if I don't shower until later in the afternoon. I putter and poke and am such a happy gal. I can just play and be relaxed and whittle the morning away.

So here's a journal page I played with yesterday.

I had used some clear gel medium and a gear stencil a while back to make the first texture layer on this page.  Then the page got put in a pile and sat for a few weeks. So yesterday I sprayed, brush painted, rubbed paint, rubbed off paint and also stamped the background.

Then I added the butterfly. Its made using a new die I recently picked up on a markdown table.  Thought the 3D of it was a lot of fun. I colored it with spray inks and then added it. So while I waited for things to dry I was cleaning off a mess on my table and found this old sticky tag from luggage. I added that-why not? Also that metal word bar was off of something else and sitting on my table so I added that too.

And my table looks a lot better now too!

Thanks for visiting my blog today.
