Hi Friends!
Christmas came early for me yesterday, I purchased myself a 24 piece set of Derwent Inktense pencils! I've been eyeing them for about a year now and when a shopping trip was due and the 55% off coupon from Michales arrived in my email, it was like the stars aligned, and it was time!
So this morning at 6am, I snuck down to my art space and tried them out. I always have a stack of journal pages in various states of completion sitting on my desk, so I chose one that already had Shnibblybits Hexagon Bordered Cutout that was cut out at a quarter of the original size. This has to be one of my favourite cut files, it really is so diverse and is such a great configuration! It had been glued down to some dollar store journal pages with Aleene's glue. It also had random script stamping in black archival ink and everything was covered in white Liquitex gesso.
The page was sprayed previously with Lindy's Treasure Island Aqua and that's how it sat until today. I then took Apple Green, Teal Green, & Sea Blue in the Inktense pencils and a water brush to add colour to the insides of the Hexagons, blending light to dark.
I added a few of the new Tim Holtz Clippings words, and that was it!
I hope you like what I've created!
