It's been a while.... journal page

It has been ages since I had time to play in my journal - but today I grabbed some time...

 This started out very different, with some mopped up Dylusions spray in Crushed Grape, and the pewter metallic distress stain but after I ruined it with some stencilling I went over the whole thing with Nougat Fresco which mixed a bit with the purple to give this pinky colour...

I added the harlequin stencilling using Squid Ink, and then the Art Is stencil with grunge paste...

 I die cut a load of the reindeers on white card, and stamped some music (Prima ) over them, edged them all with Walnut Stain distress ink.

I knocked back the journal page with watered down Nougat Fresco - these pictures don't show the colour particularly well because the light is awful, even using the daylight bulb!

Then it was time to find some words - in the end I went for this stamp from one of my Wendy Vecchi sets, 'do not look back and wonder what if.. but rather look ahead to see.. what's coming next'

I cut the text into two pieces to fit one on each page, and edged with Walnut Stain distress ink.

Thanks for looking
