Well, if the lizards got a page, you know the cat had to have one.<\/p>\n

I’ve decided my journal is a good place to get rid of old supplies, and use things I don’t often take out. This page started with using gel to layer on scraps from my last project, packaging, etc. Anything I had around. A layer of gesso, then I got out those very old tube acrylics that I don’t use because I don’t really like them. They were a bit thick, but I managed.<\/p>\n

There are lots and lots of old acrylics there, along with a little Luminaire and some other Luminarte shimmery watercolors.<\/p>\n

Another supply I don’t bring out often is Stickles.<\/p>\n

I used them here on the letters, and I love they way they turned out. I may be using them more often.<\/p>\n

Oh, and a point for unexpected uses: those leaves on the edges are actually one side of a poinsettia stencil. They’re not just for Christmas anymore.<\/p>\n

I’ve also been bringing out stamps I haven’t used.<\/p>\n

I got this dotted butterfly in a bargain bin ages ago. I think it was 50 cents. It’s very flexible, so was perfect for this highly textured surface. Now that I’ve used it, I think it will come out again and again. Interesting tidbit: the dots on the stamp are actually negative<\/em>, but the paint pool in the holes, making them positive.<\/p>\n

It’s a lot easier to remember what you have in your stash if you actually use it once or twice!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
