This is the card that got the most comments as it was a complete experiment that I saw in an art journalling magazine and thought that I would try it. It is quite a multi-media piece even though it is on a cheapie dollar store index card.
I slapped on some soft gel to the vintage dictionary page, let it dry for a minute or so and then tore it off. I really like the distressed look! Since there was so much of the page that didn't distress I thought I would do another technique overtop of it. I used the soft gel medium once again and applied it to a magazine page that had a picture of a rose on it. I didn't like the way the image "transferred" and think that if I do this again I will use regular gel medium since the soft gel is quite a bit wetter and likely too wet for the magazine page. I couldn't leave well enough alone so I then used my Uniball pen to outline the image. Then I coloured in the image with my new Pebeo watercolours that I bought at the Junction in Toronto.
I don't know if you can really notice it much but at the bottom of the card where I show what paints I used I had attempted to distress some sheet music but without success!
Then I thought that I'd best push myself away from this although. So there is my card for that day!
