Documented Life Project - Week 4

I'm a smidge behind with the DLP but am hoping to catch up soon!!

Here is my take on the Week 4 challenge - this week the theme was:

Art Challenge: Writing

Journal Prompt: Words with Friends

I made this page about my sister - Tara.

The photo is from a trip to Liverpool we took together and had such a good time.

I started the page by writing out a whole page of 'stuff' about Tara - I had hoped some of the handwriting would still show through at the end but I seem to have obliterated it with paint!

Here is how the page started out - all the paints are Paperartsy Fresco Finish paints, the background colours are two new releases - Caribbean Sea and Bourganvialla added using a baby wipe:

Next I added some stamping using a set from Inkylicious and Cornflower Blue archival and Versafine Smokey Grey:

The quote and 'my sister' sentiment I cut out from the front of a birthday card Tara gave me which I thought was appropriate! Also the little crystal heart in the bottom corner was on the card so I prised that off and added it also.

I added some black scribbly pencil with a Stabilo All pencil and added water, I also added tiny doodles around the page with black and white pens.

Finally I added a few chit chat stickers from Tim Holtz with a little black pen around them to help them stand out.
