I have been in love with the way 3 big brush Pitt pens work together.  I love oceans and water so these 3 pens were ideal for me.  When I write directly on a piece of paper the ink is too dark for some of my projects.  That’s when my glass topped counter became my best friend.

1.  I wrote on the glass with my sloppy illegible handwriting.  I love writing this way so I don’t have to worry about writing anything of significance.

2.  I quickly put a piece of white tissue paper on top of it.  Why tissue paper?  So I can put it on top of another piece of paper without reversing the words.

3.  Put a layer of Golden fluid matte medium over  a patterned paper then gently put the tissue on top.  Seal it with another layer of matte medium.

I used that paper for the base of the pocket.
