Just like last year the
Wanderlust 2017 set of classes also has a section for a Wanderlust Book where we get a prompt every other week and we can do with it what we want. I will be working in Finnabair's Mixed Media journal (with rings) that is a bit larger than the journal I used last year. It's 7.1/4" x 9.1/2". This journal has both white and craft pages and I'll use whichever set I feel like but for this first spread I have simply used the first page.
The first prompt was:
I am ready for......, and as you can see above I went with anything, even though I'm fully aware of the fact that it's not true. Sometimes you have to proclaim your courage to yourself before you're truly feeling it.
As I had such a great time with
MaryBeth Shaw's lesson on
Creative Jumpstart 2017 (
see the New Doors spread here) I decided to use it again to make this page, hence no instructions here. I must mention though that it involves Distress Markers. I had a few but felt an urgent need for more so I'm very stocked up at the moment.
I collaged with a wide variety of papers, some from magazines and some wrapping paper, and used all the stencils from the
January 2017 Stencilgirl Club.
I also used fluorescent acrylic ink as well as a mica spray but although you can see the former, the sparkle of the latter is lost in the pictures.
