Pick a stick challenge - May 2016

I found out about the pick a stick challenge via one of the ladies I follow on YouTube. Each month, one of the four ladies who run the group on Facebook chooses ten sticks from her bucket of sticks. Each stick in the bucket has a prompt/journaling idea written on it (the same collection of sticks is used each month to draw from).

Then all you need to do is create a journal page by following each of the prompts in the order they were picked! That's the really tricky bit! For example, one of this month's prompts is to add glitter, something you'd normally do near the completion of a page, here's it's prompt no. 5.

Here's May's challenge.

Here's my page, stage by stage.

A torn image

Add a piece of ephemera - this is half of a museum ticket

Add a crossword

Use a non-tool. I used the cork to spread ochre paint across the page.

Add glitter - I've put it over the top of the paint

There's two stages here - I've added washi tape along the right edge and the bottom ledge and added a piece of scrapbook paper that's of a french newspaper.

This is where I put the tree in when the fabric (see below for the fabric) should have been first. It's a medieval tree of knowledge.

Hopefully the title written on the fabric helps to bring the page together.

Adding the black pen - I fumbled the tree of knowledge label unfortunately!

It's not a bad page, but it's not that good either. Hopefully, I'll do better with June's challenge.
I'll be back on Tuesday.
