Watering down the gesso seems a brilliant idea! Your pages look fabulous Helen! Your videos are so inspiring just to get out your materials and get going! Thank you and take care x

I’m so happy you enjoyed it, thank you very much Heather 🥰 Take good care of yourself too 🤗💕

I usually take my pages to the edges. I’m really loving your technique where you create a faux border just by not going quite to the edge. This one was great with all the different layers. Love it ❤️❤️❤️

This looks like good fun. It turned out beautifully. Reminds me of lattice pie 🥧 crust. Yorkshire lass ya see. Lol xx

Hi Helen, you definitely have favourite colours of those paints 😄 that beautiful orange looks well used! Your pages look like the inside of a beehive. They turned out wonderfully. 🧡💛 Also my head is spinning with inspiration and new ideas. I've been using my markers the past week, but my watercolours just might come out this coming week 🥰

I am so behind in video watching 😅 but that also means I get to binge-watch so many of these! Love these colors and textures so much. And I was captivated by your ephemera folder! Maybe a tutorial? hopefully I haven’t missed one 😊❤

Hehe binge watching is always fun! I haven’t filmed a video of creating an ephemera folder. One for the list 🤗💕

Thank you Helen....this was so relaxing and inspiring. I’m looking forward to getting out my dies and doing some gratitude pages. I’d like to make an ephemera folder too. Do you have a video on that? Thanks, Nan

I’m really happy you enjoyed it, thank you Nan 🥰I don’t have a video on the ephemeral folder, but I used two pieces of folded scrapbooking paper for each signature. I then used some tracing paper for the pockets. I used a large circle punch to cut half a circle on the top of each one. I used a sewing machine to add the pockets. I hope that helps 💕

De très bonnes idées vraiment ! 🥰

Thank you so much 🥰 I took out nearly all but two pages from every signature, so I probably only left about a 6th of the pages in. You can find the video here if that helps 💕 m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/n4aktLaoe9OTgpc.html
