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:

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

  5. 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

  8. 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
