So my husband bought me a new journal for my birthday in October.
(I put it on my Amazon wishlist. :-))
I just started using it this month, and I'm loving it so far.
It's from Stillman & Birn, and it's part of the "Delta Series".
The paper is Ivory in color, and 180lb./270 gsm in weight.
It's nice and thick and toothy.
Filled in with watercolor and white ink
Can't wait to show you a few other pages I've already filled in. :-)
Hi Jenny! I like this page very much. The green is so fresh and white ink looks just lovely on it... I wish you a very, very good year 2013!

ReplyDeleteHi Jenny. I love this page, especially the mottled look of the green background. Can you please share how you did this? I have been try for 2 days now, and can't seem to come close to replicating it. lol. thx in advance. =D
ReplyDeletethank you so much, Lissa. xoxo. I painted the background in a green watercolor wash. Before the paint dried, I dropped clean drops of water throughout the pages. This caused the lighter colored back-runs (splatters). Then, once the pages dried completely, I stamped a few white "bubbles" with white acrylic ink. I hope this helps! :-)
