The technique to use some music paper - well would you believe I just found a wad of old sheet music at a charity shop only this week! Someone is shining on me.
Anyway I used white paint dabber to cover my paper which I covered my whole page with. I did some inking and stenciling and diecutting then thought, a spritz with perfect pearls...
BAD idea, it pooled so I wiped it off and off came all the inking I had just done! Oops! But going by the words in the song, "All things work together for my good" I plodded on... I inked again and added perfect pearls "powder" this time and some cosmic shimmer and some stamping and rearranged the diecuts and scripture words.
Stuck is all down and even sprayed it with hairspray! I realise now why I was never satisfied with it before, because the white paint seems to bleach away the brightness of the colours. I painted on some yellow dylusions but I think even that will go in time. Oh well I tried.
Note to self - DON'T use white paint underneath stuff if you want bright colours!
2nd Note to self - HALFWAY through challenge!

Hi BJ, so interesting to see the various transitions your pages go through before you are satisfied with them - or not, as the case may be. I love the end result, the little stars are fab as are the music notes, and the ornate stamping in the corners is a great finishing touch. It's all a learning process and with these exercises you seem to be learning a lot :) Hugs, Elizabeth xx PS: it was serendipity to find those music sheets.
Lovely pages! How cool you had just found that sheet music. It turned out great!
Brilliant page BJ, fortune was definitely shining on you with your charity shop find. I love the way you have documented the whole process, good and not so good, you poor thing, how flippin frustrating (I did something similar the other day in my AB, lol paint wash over the top of some stamping but I'd used the wrong ink - arrrrrrggggghhhh!!), so fab to see how you didn't give up but found a way to make it work in the end. I love the finished result.
Huge hugs x x x x
