Another journal page to show you today. I am trying not to add extra materials or layers to the rest of my pages in this book, otherwise it most definitely won't shut. So I decided just to add a few stamped images and colour them using water colours. The background as you can see is random stencilled. Shaded with a variety of distress inks.
The bird image and quote are from a Dina Wakley set .
I loved the words, Keep a green bough in your heart
and perhaps a singing bird will come.
Spring is in the air around where I live as we have the dawn chorus to wake us each day.
However, I do wish some one would tell my feathered friends that 5 a.m. is not a good time to wake me up.
I would like to join these challenges

ReplyDeleteTweet, tweet, tweet is a bit much at 5am but this lovely bird seems to be managing to keep his trilling at a suitable level, quite delightful!

Beautiful page with terrific stamped images. Nice to hear the birds singing and I am usually awake about the time that they are so I don't mind :)

Beautiful page Yvonne, your stamping is so effective.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the dawn chorus, I think it's even earlier than that around here - if I can't sleep I just know the little birdies will start singing and I won't get back to sleep at all xx
A beautiful page, wonderful stamping and stenciling. I love the the little bird and the lovely sentiment.
