The Documented Life…I'm finally caught up

Whew…

I'm finally caught up on my

Documented Life planner, 

now all I have to do is sit back and wait for the new challenges 

to be issued.

This is the planner I am using.

It's last years so I am hoping a lot of what I have written in it

will be incorporated into my art this year.

The pages are thin so it will be a challenge

(one that me and my trusty gallon of Gesso will meet head on)

but already I am loving the art I have added to the insides.

To cover my cover I first added a layer of Gesso over the vinyl.

While it was wet I placed some sewing pattern paper down

and added another light layer of Gesso.

All the color comes from Silk's Acrylic Glazes.

These paints are semi transparent, go on like a dream,

and dry super quick.

Right now they are definitely my "go to" for paint.

The title is from some more old rub ons in my stash…

Remember I'm using it up this year ;)

The numbers are chipboard and are covered with Silk's as well.

Like I said these paints are a dream…

one coat and the numbers were covered.

Stencils from Crafter's Workshop and Stencil Girl stencils

help add pattern and depth to my cover.

While I like to work in bulky layers a lot I intentionally kept

this fairly flat.

I'm thinking with all the yummy art I will be adding

in the end it will be chunky enough.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
