Colour me positive's face your fears challenge came through on Friday morning & I had a rummage through my "holiday" stash....found some bits I could use and set about making my page on the background in my book which is a silvery grey.

An image that includes Tim Holtz/ sizzix clock & the quote Life is an adventure / 2 strips of bugs / a beetle image / an ivory carving of a wild animal (rhino?) / a dinosaur / a couple of partial images from a colouring book of 2 beetles / and an advert for a "dragon maze" that I picked up in the summer. I did a graphite wash around the images & stencilled the title, added some white Uniball around the letters & did a little doodling of wavy lines using the edge of a stencil.

Then came the Journal 52 : the heart knows / skulls. I went with what I could....skulls

The Cinco de Mayo advert actually went reasonably well with the background page that was presenting itself so it seemed like fate. Added some stencilled numbers and title as well as some partial flourishes around the edges.

Art prompts galore were next up with quite a selection: lines, arrows,dots, red, eyes.

I think I managed to cover all the bases with this one!

Lines = washi tape & dotted lines around the tape

Arrows = one to the eye

Dots = stencilled circles, stamped spirals, border to the image of the lady

Red = colour used for the stencilling 

Eyes= she's only got one!

It's amazing what I manage to find in the holiday stash box! I even identified a few items that I could use for another Positiv Journal love/collage page....

The love of a mother for her child and the unknown man that he will become....

And after all that, all that remains is DLP, which I've yet to ponder on, and the latest inchie which I will link on Monday ....
