Live Beautifully.....

I have had a chance to finish one of my many journal pages today. Loving the colours

The background is made using Distress Oxides, blended together using baby wipes.

The flowers are made using paper scraps and a hydrangea confetti punch, some gem flowers and some baby pearls and gems.

Some are raised from the paper and some flat to make it more interesting.

The final touch is wording added by using a stencil and Prima Modelling Paste. The magic happens as the Distress Oxides from the background seep through the paste colouring it to match the background. Loved watching it happen. xx

Had some me time

At the beginning of the year I decided I needed some me time….time to create and learn and improve my skills and knowledge.
I have admired Donna Downey for a long time so I decided to become a member of Inspiration Wednesday. I never realised it would be so much fun and although I have only managed to do one so far, I’ve already learned loads of new stuff.
Here is my first canvas

It still needs something but for now I am happy to look at it for a while until I decide what.
There is loads of layering

and I got soooo messy. Happy now.
