Much searching ensued - I liked the Churchill quote that has been used already (Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong) but decided to keep looking.. This afternoon whilst waiting for some Grunge Paste to dry for another challenge, I jotted down a few others I liked.... the only Miss I could find that I even part-way thought about using was "Miss You Nights" by Cliff Richard (or Westlife depending on your generation!) but in the end, stuck with Strong.
I wanted to use my new Stencil Girl stencil that has lots of different hearts on.. and went pink - very pink!
I stencilled using the Picked Raspberry distress ink, then used one of my only 3 distress paints, which just happens to be Picked Raspberry too and painted in the gaps.

This pink page really caught my eye! Such a lot of interest using only one colour :)
It might be PINK, but it is beautiful. I like all the elements. You have some beautiful stamps and use them well. Glad to see your entry for this challenge.
I loved that stencil when you showed me at Stevenage and I love how you've used it here! That shade of pink actually does look STRONG not all girly and pastel! It just shows what the right kind of pink can do! I like your quote. It meant a lot to me actually because someone very dear to me has just shown incredible strength of mind and been rewarded with the possibility of a job opportunity. No doubt you can imagine who it is. Seeing your gorgeous journal work, so vibrant and strong was like seeing 'joy on the page' in a way. Thanks for sharing, Helen xxx
WOW very PINK indeed, was you trying to hide this from me by any chance?
Despite the colour, love the layout and how you've used that new stencil

I'm with Sam here. I loved that stencil when I saw it in your stash photo and it looks fab in your layout. The quote is really lovely. Is that your hand writing? If so that does make me envious as mine is rubbish and gets worse all the time!
