I had already got a double spread in my journal painted with Mushroom Fresco paint, and simply went from there
Today, I added Grunge Paste through the Mini Ledger stencil that came on Friday (not sure how I existed so long without this one!!)
and then using cut and dry foam, blended Vanilla and Sage Fresco paints softly , mainly over the Grunge Paste, but not exclusively.
Added some splatters (Mini 72) using Mud Splat and stencilled Snowflake through the reverse chickenwire, randomly.
Mini 29 (postmark) stamped randomly without a block, in Olive archival ink.
and then stamped the owl (ID02) twice on watercolour paper (it was out from my Tim tag in the last post... ) using Pumice Stone distress ink, edging lightly with Walnut Stain , spritzing the stamp before stamping onto the paper, to aid the watercolour effect.
Added the text (HP1204) in black archival.

This is a really nice page, I like the pale colours.
Ooh! Fabulous to see Lin's inspiration in your journal! Love it!
Isn't it fun to just let loose and play with all our toys. Some great techniques here Helen. I love the muted tones.

Great page! The colours are pale, but that does indeed make it interesting. It has a mysterious feel to it! x
WOW the texture really shows through using the lighter colours, I also see you had an excuse to get out your olive archival again too!!!

Delicious pages, Helen - I love the delicate colours and the mini-ledger works brilliantly. Love that sentiment stamp too.
