52 pages 2011 WK1

So this is my first page, using the prompt word 'Regenerate', see post further down for the definition and prompt questions.

First I coloured my page (cut using sizzix die) with Neocolor crayons and water.



Next I cut up and 'ripped' ( yes Dede, I ripped) some Basic Grey and added it to the page. I also added some presents and bow that had been on a xmas card. I stuck another strip of BG across the bottom.



next I drew my girl, jumping up out of the presents, I also added some mini xmas motif stamps.



I dry brushed some white acrylic over the page, added more Neocolours and also defined some areas with prismas.






I added the words, and trimmed the bottom edge .

for the back, I started by colouring with Neocolors first, then adding journalling outlines with a prisma pencil.




I typed up the word prompt, definition and promt questions, then also typed up my answers. I found a free typewriter font online, downloaded that and printed out my journalling.

I then cut it all up and glued it on.




1 down, only 51 to go. Click on the 52 pages button at the top of the blog to see all the prompts as they are posted.

New word prompt and questions will be up on Monday, please join in and leave a comment so we can all see your pages. My pages are approx 4 inches by 4.5 inches. You can do any size that you want, ATC size, maybe do 52 Tags, or work in a journal or boardbook, its up to you.

  14. Just catching up with this. I'd actually forgotten you were doing it :( I'm noting down all the prompts though so that I'll be able to catch up with it when life calms down a bit at this end. Love your work Darcy, it looks great and what a nice way to start of the year.

  15. Darcy been through all your prompts now, they're fabulous. Can I please ask what you used to create your lovely page shape - was it a Spellbinder nestie or a die cut machine maybe? Did you cut your pages from watercolour paper? I'm really looking forward to catching up with these once exams are out the way (in May).
