Dina is great fun as a teacher. I love that she doesn't take things too seriously. It is so cool when she says, "It's just paper. We can buy more paper." I also love it that she ends up with paint on her hands and arm.
This is my first try at layering the way she suggested. I realized after the fact that I left out two layers. Oh well, I'll give those a shot later.
I really like how the yellow, green and pink peek through in different places. I loved using the exaggerated writing technique she used. It was very freeing to write with giant loopy letters and not care if anyone could read it.
It's like there are all kind of things hiding on my pages just waiting to be found!
The supplies I used are: three colors of acrylic paint plus white, baby wipes, a Lori homemade oval stencil, a Delta rectangles stencil and white and navy Stabilo All pencils. I also used a piece of plastic window screening as a stencil to make the tiny squares.
