The Week04 challenge for The Documented Life Project was "Secret Message" where the idea was to write a secret message, then hide all but one word of it.

I started this by writing my secret message onto the journal page. Next, I chose which word to show, placed a "paper rectangle mask" over it to protect it while I painted over all of the words with "gesso." I removed the mask and drew a chalk box around my chosen word. Then I painted various colors over the page. My final step was to add a piece of "ribbon washi tape" followed by various "decoupage" images.

I created this using GIMP 2.8.10, printed it on card stock paper, cut it out, then taped it into my weekly planner.

The images are from a DuckDuckGo search.

The master index for all of my entries is here.
