The Tweedles

I am sometimes asked how a journal page develops............there is no one answer as each page develops differently but one way that it often happens is the using up of excess paint..........that's how this one started ........I thought it might be fun to show the process.............well, at least the bits I thought to photograph!

 I had some pink paint left over from the owl capone page so I took this small journal and rubbed it across the tile that the paint was on. Next it was what to fill the gaps in with.....I know I have a new bottle of ink, I'll use that to see what the colour looks like

Then I had been watching a video on YouTube and the person had used random strips of washi tape so I used some thin strips of the tape I bought not that long ago.

 Next came using a stencil that I hadn't used before.........

and that got me to this point............ often at this point I would leave it to use later but this time I carried on. Next decision is what image(s) to use.......

 Someone on Facebook asked if I was moving on from Alice after I posted my mermaid pieces so that made me think that I need to do something Alice.........I have these new Alice themed Stampotique stamps..............so, I used one of them......The Tweedles!

 Stamped and coloured with Promarkers......not sure they are really my thing but got them in a sale .......then cut them out

 but I do quite like the way the black ink runs into the colour.......a bit grungy looking and I like their dirty faces!

Next it needs words of some sort............was rummaging in a drawer and came across this OLD stamp, it fitted quite nicely, so stamped, cut out and glued into place.........a bit of random outlining and there you go.......done!
