Lotstodo - challenge - Black/Green and Gold

Just a little hanger for this weeks challenge on Lotstodo

Lotstodo Challenge - Free Theme

Sams taking a break this week from the challenge site - she has been running it for me for quite a few months now whilst I had other things going on - I am really grateful for the way she has inspired and encouraged lots of you to take part.

I made Sam this Journal as part of my Brave People post. The covers are Canvas Board which I inked with Sams Fav. colours I then added the grungeboard pieces which had also been inked. I just love the screw parts!!! The book is filled with letraset 270g paper which will take any amount of inks and paint without bleeding. I'm sure Sam will have lots of fun with it and look forward to seeing its progress.

To make this canvas I did a gesso transfer of the image-I then covered the whole canvas in mod podge added some torn paper and inked and played with it. I then stamped my quote on to tissue and again added this with mod podge - to finish off I added some beads that I'd wired. I sent this one to Zoe who had joined my posting.
