Ledger Book Girl

 
I have had an old ledger book for ages and yesterday I created my first page using the colour scheme for Summer of Colour 2014. I am also going to share my page over at Paint Party Friday and AJED.

Here is the coral background I started with using Promarkers, acrylic paint and glimmer mist:
 



Added teal paint and some detail. Here is my finished page:

    What struck me was how well the coral showed through from behind the teal, although it no longer looked like coral. Very, very impressive.

    SMASHING page - I LOVE the fact you used translucent paint over the top so you can still see your "ribbons" of pro markers beneath

    Happy Friday

    I love how you did the background in a thin layer so you can still see the beautiful swirls of color underneath. The quote is really great too

    Your transition from all coral to the finished painting took me by surprise. How beautifully you have created a two-color painting!
