Obsession, that could be a topic for today's journal page. But the official name is "Halloween again?" ,0)
You probably also know it....sometimes you have an idea, you try to bring it to the life and the final result is....anything else :D. So you try it again (and maybe again and again) :0) That happened to me with last two journal pages. Page 11 was a little bit Halloween, but completely differently then I wanted. And the initial idea in my head was not fulfilled and became a kind of obsession.... That's why I offer you a new page with different point of view :0) Unfortunately I need to admit that even if I love this new page really a lot, the obsession remains :D. Please forgive me, but there will be probably another Halloween page in the future, although it's only May now :D
I'm very proud of this page, because it is 97% one layer page (except of the pumpkins green parts). Normally I would use paper piecing technique, but this time I decided to try it with masks. And it was a lot of thinking about the right order of working steps I must say and paper piecing would be much much easier (but more bulky). Also, I would not worry so much that my next step destroy all the previous work .0) But I think that it was worth it. I love the color combination, shining pumpkins and my cute skeptical owl :0))
There is only one disappointment - my mobile phone camera is not able to take full spectrum of colors. Violet (Distress ink pad Wilted violet) is almost invisible, blues (Distress ink pads Faded jeans and Chipped sapphire) are faded and orange color of pumpkins (Distress ink sprays Fossilized amber and Carved pumpkin) is too dark, even in the sunlight. I spent a lot of time just with taking pictures of this page and I unhappily think that this photo is the best I can make with it....
But I used Distress ink pads and sprays, alcohol markers and for the first time in my crafting history colored pencils also. I learned how to make darker orange color for shading of the pumpkins (according the color theory I mixed orange Carved pumpkin and it's opposite color Wilted violet, so I received darker, muted, but still very nice color), I successfully used colored pencils (and I will use them again) and I made my own masks for each object.... hurray :0)
Please enjoy this page with me and have a very nice day :0)
