Journal page

When I saw Lin had some of the yummy new Paperartsy Fresco Paints in on Thursday, I had to order some straight away (and just as well, as I see she's sold out already...) here they are nestling in their box - don't they look fab?

I "only" got 6 - had to draw a line somewhere... aren't they gorgeous colours?!  Those two orangey red ones are different colours, they haven't photo'd very well! One is Autumn Fire and the other Smoked Paprika... such fab names!



Anyhow, today I took Autumn Fire and covered a page in my journal and started to play....

Used some (new!) Tim Holtz and Wendy Vecchi stamps, and my Dina Wakley's.... the tag is coloured with the limited edition ripe persimmon.....















My Winter seasonal inks arrived today - whilst I was in the middle of having my highlights done so I had to go to the door covered in bleach filled wraps.... so I had to play with them too....

LOVING the evergreen bough.... and the festive berries is a great red!!


Hmmm think I've been shopping a bit too much this week... may have to stop a while!

Both pieces are so beautiful - I totally love the colors. I probably would have ordered exactly the same paints, yummy colors!
