The World of Imagination is Boundless
My son Luke is a huge Anime (Japanese Animation) fan and loves to put together a costume and become one of his favourite characters for the day - I think this one is a Yu-Gi-Oh character.   Look at that hair spike!!  You wouldn't believe how much scultping gel and hairspray it took to mold his curly locks.

I loved playing with my mists on this LO to create a mixed media background which was one of the evidence criteria.  I didn't have the right shade of pale blue paper for my background, so I lightly misted some white cs with denim glimmer mist then sprayed over the top with white dylusions mist to soften to a pale blue.  The background was created by stencilling a chevron mask with clear croco crackling, then once dry, misting close to the paper to achieve a deep colour and allowing to the colours to drip down a little.  I sprayed one colour at a time and dried off, otherwise the colours can sometime blend together and become drab and mucky.

Evidence:
mixed Media background
rubons/stamps
border punch

Testimony:  Write your journaling in the background, directly on your paper.
