Week 41 : DLP 2015

Information about the FREE weekly Documented Life project is HERE. When I saw that the theme for October is Translucent Papers, I knew this one was coming.

I ♥ using tissue paper in my art, and even have a label so you can check out all the ways I use it HERE. It was therefore logical to start with tissue paper as my first layer on my spread this week - using both layers of tissue that I talked about HERE, since the mid layer will be great as pattern but not too intrusive for my daily journal section.

Went on to add colour with a wet wipe to blend - inspired by the colours of serviette that will be applied next

and layering stencils now

You can print your own images or quotes on tissue at home - this is really useful if you want an image on a bumpy or imperfect surface. Glue the top of your sheet of tissue (trimmed to fit your printer paper) to a carrier page and print through your inkjet printer, feeding the glued end in first

This is a handy tip for tearing around tissue/serviette - dip a paintbrush in water and run it where you want to tear : 

Thinking about the prompt of 'the disappearing trick' made me think of feeling invisible, and not wanting to disappear without a trace. I added a favourite quote to my bright page : 

And this is my answer and completed spread
