Breast Cancer Awareness Journal Page

Hi Everyone!  It's Danie here today and I have a project that I have created with Breast Cancer Awareness Month in mind.

I only got back from my overseas holiday on Sunday so had to think of something relatively quick to do so I decided on a loose 5 x 7 journal page on watercolor paper.


As you are aware we are partnering with Art Anthology this month so I started by spritzing my page with some of the Art Anthology Coloration Spray in the color Patience (Pink)  and then stuck down some torn piece of various pink papers from my Glitz and Kaisercraft Paper Pads which is one of my usual methods of creating backgrounds you have seen before.

Then I sprayed again with the Coloration Spray to tint the white edges of my torn papers.  I then took my Art Anthology Dimensional Crystal Paint- Fairy and Guava and added some stripes of color around my page smearing them in an across my background as I went with a credit card.  Lastly I repeated this same process with a small amount of gesso.



I then cut out some images from various Altered Pages Collage Sheets and stuck these onto my piece. I added some stamping from the Unity October 2011 KOTM which is Breast Cancer Awareness related using Staz On Inks and then finished by adding the word hope using the Red Tag Alphabet Collage Sheet attached to some twine and added a white petaloo flower.

The best way to fight breast cancer is to have a plan that helps you detect the disease in its early stages.  Breast cancer knows no gender!

  2. First let me thank you for your breast cancer awareness page! This has become my number one cause and if affects so many of us it is scary but doesn't have to be if we are proactive. You did an awesome job on this and the word "hope" is so important on these projects! I would like to challenge you to see if a doctors office or store would let you showcase your piece this week! I am trying to get up enough nerve to ask to do that with my piece. The Halloween tag is adorable and the scarecrow so sweet! Love the techniques used and it turned out fab!!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
