144-145/365somethings2018

Hello,

OMG, it's a fact, I totally have lost all grasps on time,
it can't be already a month since I posted here, can it?
Not that I didn't create or anything but just haven't come around to the scanning and telling bit.
I will try to catch up this week though,
here are 2 more additions to my 365 collection, no's 144 and 145,
I went to town with acrylic paint, stencils and stamps to create these awesome backgrounds:

more to come...

background 5/100

Background #5 started as a mop up page from a previous, so it had the blue and yellow already on it:

I added a pattern with this gorgous butterfly stamp and some more translucent colors:

I must say my bottle of medium for changing the opacity of colors has become one of my favorites suplies.
I already knew that layers was the key to a succesful background, but did it with too opaque paints and then you can have 10 layers but you'll only see the last one.

background #4/100

This background started with a piece of underpaper which had the print of a doiley:

So I added a border with doileys on which I added gilding wax and stamped a lace border top and bottom:

Next came out my trusty white acrylic paint:

and the urge to add gold embossed paisleys

which I toned down a bit with antiquing creme:

Loving this challenge so far, as it is doing exactly what I intended, to play every single day and whithout worrying about the outcome.

100 day project: backgrounds 2 and 3

It's day 3 of the challenge and I just love what I've created,

Luckily I'm still liking the subject I choose, backgrounds, I don't worry about the outcome because it is just a background, but in this case I think this is more a finished page. 

What did background #2 look like, well here it is

The project is forcing me to do what I want to do, create every day, doesn't matter what, but create.
