I actually had been saving the bottle of hot sauce for awhile for just the right use - probably therefore the Red Hot Red title! I first painted the background pages with gesso for these red pages. The text still slightly shows through which I really like the look of. I used the non brush end of a paintbrush, the non foam end of a foam brush and a q tip to stamp the dots.
The blue page all started with an ad with butterfly wings and this word -
It pretty much fits perfectly with how I think of blue thanks to blue in nature - blue skies, ocean, mountains, etc. Guess I didn't just cut out blue, for one page I simply tore strips. Then punched circles and squares out for both pages. And used a stencil and midnight blue craft acrylic for the word "Blue".
Thanks for taking a look!
I came over from Seth - and love your inspiring ideas especially a colour book. I have a few themed books started ... too.
