WOYWW 721: Counting Down
Only two more working days to the Easter holiday including today and I am intending to be rather lazy. Happy WOYWW everyone and welcome to my contribution to the weekly get together courtesy of Julia at Stamping Ground.
You can see from my drawing journal that I am nearly half way through it. There are enough pages for 6 months worth of drawings so I will definitely go for these Seawhite journals another year.I wasn't going for a tree drawing 2 days in a row.I had previously drawn the more obvious response.Tuesday, 28 March 2023

Fun Experimental Tag
I started by covering a #8 manilla tag with a page of Romanian text, drying and trimming.
I started adding leaves using the #2 stamp in the Skeleton Leaf 3 way overlay tile stamp set from Clarity Crafts. I stamped the leaf three times in Versamark ink and heat embossed the images in clear embossing powder. Next came the experimenting with Oxide sprays. I chose Cracked Pistachio and Peeled Paint and sprayed them both lightly onto the tag, drying the ink with my heat gun. Before spraying, I gently shook each spray bottle from side to side, like ringing a bell. I spritzed a little water over the tag before adding more of the Cracked Pistachio. I also added a light mist of Twisted Citron Distress Spray Stain. As the oxide sprays dry to a chalky finish, mixing in one of the original spray stains added patches of vibrancy. Once again, I used my heat gun to dry the tag thoroughly.
I wondered how the Distress Archival inks would work over the Oxide sprays. I took the same stamp as before and stamped it multiple times in Peeled Paint Archival ink, then went over the top with a little Vintage Photo around the edges. I went round the edges of the leaves and the tag with a white gel pen. The gel pen produces quite a subtle effect over the Oxide sprays. To finish, I added one of the Tim Holtz quote chips.
