Sunday Sketches....
These little pages works in layers and so enjoyable to do...
Sketch the tree trunks in pencil Black outliner, and chestnut Twink H20
Painted with water well brush The negative space cut out
The behind page painted
Hunters Grey, Chestnut, Kiwi, Olive Vine Then the shadows of trunks added
Framing, and tree trunks sparingly glued down to background page
Definitely would love to do some more of this type of thing.... even cut through a third page and so on to add more definition.... a challenge in the best possible way.
And it also adds hopefully another facet of interest to this little book
You can find Sunday Sketches HERE

Ooooh, archery, that looks like a lot of adventure.
Your sketch is great, you say they're layers? I find that very interesting.
What you do with old books is more than amazing. I love the oak trees and the quote too. Just a great journal page.
That is so cool the way you cut away and made your background on a separate page. Love it!
Those tree trunks look amazing, love the definition and love that quote too! And well done on your daughter with the archery, she looks like she enjoys it too!
Oooh! Love the 'cut out'.....can't wait to see you tackle a few more page depths worth. Suspect it won't be long! I really like how your quote is the same colour as the typeset. Works a treat!!!
Oh this is so clever! I love the step by step. TFS!
You have the BEST quotes ever in your book!!! That page is AMAZING!! LOVING those trees and of course, the quote!!!! And loving the archery photos!!!!!
I agree with Julie.... you come up with the most amazing quotes ever! I LOVE your journal page, Mandy! The color is fabulous, and your free hand trees are perfect, and I absolutely ADORE the negative cut outs around the trunks. That adds such a cool element to the design!
Very cool that your DD is into archery, too!
Really beautiful and creative, and thanks for sharing the photos!
Hello Mandy,
Brilliant journal pages! I enjoyed seeing the process to do this journal page and love the quote you chose. I'm going to keep this "layered" effect in mind.
I hope to join the photo meme sometime in the future. I didn't have anything for this weeks prompt, but one will fit at some point:)
And thank you for your sweet comment on my blog.
What beautiful oak trees and a lovely quote. It's wonderful to see your in progress views!

your book pages are always so inspired, fantastic! ( I must give it a try)
I learned how to use the arc some years ago. It's fun :-))
great shots from your daughter.
The live you put into your work really shows! Love your trees! Nice photos too!
Gorgeous pages, Mandy! I love the photos of your daughter, too! She looks so beautiful in her amazing stance!
What awesome, fun photos! And I love your latest creation too!
This was really such a great tutorial. And I love the outcome! The trees look beautiful! Now I know how to start with the altered book technique. It was funny to see that you are working with a German book while you live in Tasmania. I feel honored ;)
Oooooo! Your journal page is gorgeous......so creative. I love the quote too. Fabulous photos.
Had to laugh as mine WAS about "game" as in the shooting kind! Love love love a bullseye :-) Am really having fun playing along at OBW
