I really like these colours together and although I made a few mistakes making this art journal page I am actually quite happy with it. I tried using white rub-on words for ‘my thoughts’ but they didn’t stand out too well so I went over them with a white pen which made it worse so next I tried smudging a little charcoal pencil around the words. It worked ok but not that great. For week 29 of the ukstampers challenge the prompts is; You (as in me):
- describe yourself in 5 words
- use some stickers or rub-ons
- include your fingerprint on your page
Do you know just how difficult it is to think of just 5 words to describe yourself? These were the 5 words I came up with that more or less describes me although I am sure some people may disagree but these are my thoughts, about me, and no-one else’s.
- Indecisive – I take such a long time to make decisions and I am always worried that I have made the wrong choice.
- Average – I am pretty average at everything – I have been described before as a Jack of all trades, master of none.
- Fanciful – whimsical? would love for fairies and ghosts to be real, love fairy tales
- Nice – I am a nice person, kind, generous and friendly
- Inquisitive – I love learning new things about everything and I am always asking questions (these days I tend to forget the answers!)
