Live Like Tomorrow Doesn’t Exist

Hello, I am Suzette Hussey, a returning design team member from Kingston, Jamaica. Happy New Year to you! I am so happy to be sharing my ideas with you and I think a great way to start the new year is on a positive note. What a better way to do that than an art journal page? I chose the quote “Live like tomorrow doesn’t exist” which is a powerful quote and definitely gives you a push in the right direction.

I have included a supply list and step by step directions below.

Art Journal or paper. I used Bristol.

Art Anthology Colorations Sprays –  Siesta Key, Waimea Bay, and Sterling

Rubber stamps of your choice. I used Visible Image stamp set – Tomorrow Doesn’t Exist.

Versafine Black ink pad

ink sponge/make up sponge

Ranger Glossy Accents

1) Begin by spraying the paper with spray ink, alternating colors until you get the look you want.

2) Dry with a heat gun or hairdryer.

3) When thoroughly dry, stamp your image.

4) Stamp a quote on a piece of Bristol paper.

5) Cut out the quote and arrange on your page along with the Dew Drops.

6) Use a sponge and black ink to add a shadow to the edge of each word.

7) Glue everything in place. Ranger Glossy Accents is great for sticking on Dew Drops.

8) To finish off, go around the edges of your page with the black ink and sponge adding a little extra to the bottom of the page.

Thanks for stopping by! You can share your creations with us on our Facebook page. We would love to see them! For more inspiration have a look around the blog. There are a variety of tutorials for many levels using Dew Drops. You can also visit my blog at www.papermachepatch.com.

Happy Crafting!
