Be Bold

This page was super fun and super super messy!!  I started by sharpening gold, pink/red, and orange crayons.  The first layer is gelatos (gold, blue, orange, and pink).  I made a cylinder out of paper, put a pile of crayon shavings inside, and used my heat tool to melt the wax.  You could probably use a chunk of a crayon as well, or a wax warmer.  After it was a puddle I tilted my page different ways.  Most of the wax is in the top left hand corner, but there is some gold coming from the bottom left corner as well.  I added the chevron stencil, writing stamp, carved into the wax with a fork, went over the "Be" with a painters pen, and stamped the "be you" at the bottom.  The silhouette is a magazine cutout.  I gesso'ed her first then applied acrylics.  I used a metallic jellyroll pen to add detail to the hair and fly-aways.

Thanks for stopping by!

Greater Is He

I added some cheesecloth, mailing labels, used stamps, circle punches, and a magazine cutout to this one. I used metallic rub on for most of the color with some stamping ink. The song lyrics are from Mercy Me's "Greater."  Love this song!  If you haven't heard it, you should definitely give it a listen.  On a side note, another song I am obsessed with, and will probably be in one of my pages in the near future, is Hillsong United: "Oceans." Anyways, hope you enjoy!
