Flowers - Journal

Here we are again - with a last minute journal page now that holidays are over but jet lag and the cold are still here.  Not much in the mood for crafting feeling as I do and I have even sent a non-hand-made card to a close friend whom I never thought would receive one not hand made.  So without further ado here is my journal page - Flowers:


Pink and Cerise were the two colours chosen and I used them both with the blending tool (Dylusion paints of course) on a Gesso'ed background.  It didn't turn out at all right in my eyes and so I went over it with a Tim Holtz stencil.  My third colour was Rose Pink so it was all out for the pinks.

I put the cerise paint through the stencil over the pink background and the pink over the cerise background.  I love this stencil, another of my favourites.

Then I coloured a piece of Dyan's paper with other colours and cut out some `Heartfelt Creations' flowers and then stamped them.  These were then arranged in an elongated triangle across the page.  Two previously die-cut butterflies were added in black.

Sorry I could not spend more time - hopefully next week will be different.
