Over at the PaperArtsy blog Linda is showcasing her very last DT piece for them. Now she's made a journal page, and as you know I don't do journal pages, but last weekend I did buy an A4 book of heavyweight paper. No it's okay, I didn't start to work in the book, instead I took the middle pages out and cut in half, so I was working on an A4 size piece. Following Lindas technique here, this is stage one and if I'm honest, looks a complete mess, I nearly binned it!!!
Still following the techniques Linda used, I added paint through stencils etc. I decided to find all the images I could from the ink and the dog plates that had something relating to wings and randomly stamped in black stazon. I still wasn't that impressed but decided to keep calm and carry on - lol.
And then I took my white pen out and that totally transformed the page, well I think so anyway!!
A close up of the numbers stencil with Baltic blue fresco paint.
And one of my favourite images from the ink and the dogs wings #2 plate.
More of the number stencil.
Another fab image from the ink and the dog wings #3 plate.
And the fab funky chicken again from the wings #2 plate.
The colours are actually much brighter IRL, but it was dark by the time I'd finished!!
Thank you Linda for all the inspiration.

Loving how the pen pulls it all together!! Good job Sam.
What. No pink!
Amazing page Sam and another skill you have added to your growing portfolio. Your use of the white pen worked wonders on the piece.
Have a nice weekend

well Sam for somebody who doesn't do journals this is a really neat page...think you may need to buy a journal!!! Love the stamps you've used, great colours and the white pen finishes it off nicely!! Hope I get time to play over the weekend :)
Love how you didn't give up and kept going...and you've ended up with a good page.
Great depth here Sam :)

Gorgeous Sam! I also had problems with the look of mine before the white and black pen highlights, and then it just all came together. Amazing!
Loving the depth to the stencilled areas and the addition of the white pen really pulls it together. Great page Sam. x
I wouldn't have been so down on it early on, but you are right about the white pen lifting it into a whole new dimension - fabulous images, amazing depth from the stencilling, and that doodling just makes the whole thing pop - wow!
