It's been a while but I thought I'd play along in this months GPP crusade.
This one is all about scraping the paint on and not using brushes.
Here's the final result:
Technique:
Step 1
Square Journal with Black Pages
Paint: Matisse Off WhiteTool: Used plastic Gift Voucher (similar to Credit Card)
Straight from the jar take paint with card and scrape vertically down the pages.
Allow to dry.
Step 2:
Paint: Matisse Southern Ocean Blue (Phthalo Turquoise),
Brilliant Allizarin (Crimson) and Off White
Randomly scrape Blue & Red over page.
I then scraped some Off White over the top.
Then added a little more scrapings of blue & red.
The paint was quite thin and dried very quickly so there was no muddy colours.
Step 3:
Stamps: Fancy Flourish Set - Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous
Using a brayer, I applied paint to stamps and randomly stamped the images over the back ground.
I stamped the wording on a manilla tag.
I then added fibres to he hole in the tag.
I then selected the Collections image of the woman, cut it out and scraped the edges across a black ink pad.
I used mounting tape to adhere the tag and double sided tape to adhere the image to the pages.
For a slightly different take on this challenge see my previous post Autumn Dancing.
Ursula - welcome back! I just checked and the last time you played was twenty crusades ago! Love your scraped pages. Thanks for showing us the process. Don't you love how you can add color quickly and not have it get muddy? Thanks for coming to play again! Hope all is well down there :)

I love seeing the pages progress - and I especially like the addition of the black - I wouldn't have thought to do that! I am glad to see the finished piece as well. Nice work! -Kim
