Wednesday's question.

You still can answer last week's question. April 14th, 2010.

Wednesday's Question to my followers for April 21st:

- How do you start your pages? Plain cardstock? Which color? Patterned paper? 50/50?

My answer:

I mostly use plain cardstock in a neutral color, but, if it goes with the theme of the page, I can use a piece of colored cardstock.

When using patterned paper, I mat my pic to let it stand out.

I have some pieces of pretty but busy patterned papers that I'd like to use trying a technique I've read in some blogs: paint the paper to kind of blur the pattern and give a base for the pic to lay on. It also works with a thin layer of gesso.


I'll be waiting for your answers.

Thanks and till next time :)
