Documented Life Project #4

This was a fun one! I had all kinds of ideas. Amazing what a few weeks can do for your mojo. This is the challenge for Documented Life Project week 4.

Art Challenge:  Writing
Journal Prompt:  Words with Friends

One of the things I decided early on is I would label my pages on my blog & on the Art to 5th site numerically, by weekly numbers. On each page I stamp the actual date the art journal page is finished. I think I will also put the challenges, typed in the front of the journal with the week numbers. I left the first couple of pages open for a title page... 

On to the page. Starting with the art challenge "writing", deciding to make an embossed resist background. I took various background writing stamps and embossed them with clear emboss powder. Once that was set and cool the fun began. I used the relatively new Ranger distress sprays and sprayed generously letting them dry fairly well then taking a baby wipe to clean off the excess, letting the resist show clearly. 

Now for the 2nd part of the prompt- "Words with Friends". I printed out quotes from my besties "scrap escape" weekend, coloring the quote pieces with distress inks & gluing them down. Next came some paper cut-outs and my title, stamped from THoltz Tall texts. I really like how this page turned out-the colors are vibrant and the embossed writing sketchy cool.
