A trip back to a simpler style of journal page for me today.
I do always want to add more, so today my aim was to
leave as much space as I felt comfortable with.
I used my 8 x 8 inch Kraft journal, adding a white gesso wash as a starter..
Just a few random stamps.
Then I sprayed this and a plain piece of white paper with some home made colour.
Don't ask what colour, it could even have been some paintbrush cleaning water that
I liked the look of to use in the spray.
The flower stamps [Carabelle] were coloured and I cut these into three panels.
A few word stamps and I decided to stop and stuck down the pieces, edging them with an old Spectrum Noir broad nib pen.
As this is made up with some
Geometrical shapes
The theme that Alison's has been hosting this month at....
I will go link the page over there.
Thank you for calling in to see me today.
Your visit is always very much appreciated.
Gorgeous page, very beautiful and elegant. I think we learnt at school to always fill the page! Look after yourself, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteIt is geometric and I love it Yvonne! I woke up to a good dumping of snow (and a 2 hour delay at work) so flowers are perfect for me! I am ready for them in real life. Have or hope it was a wonderful day. Hugs-Erika

Love the simple elegance of the three panels against the more rustic background. And I'm very tickled by the idea of using paintbrush water in your spray bottle. I've sometimes used it to splatter (by mistake, usually), but that's a whole other level of thriftiness! Gorgeous.
