Live, Love, Laugh..

This is a new stencil I bought recently and I used part of it to finish off a journal page - I had been itching to ink up the Donna Downey poppy stamp I also bought recently (!) ...

 the journal page was mostly covered with leftover Vintage LaceFresco.  I then covered that with London Bus, that yummy translucent red..
Stamped Donna's poppies on two pieces of my hoarded, sadly discontinued, Crackly tissue paper by Paperartsy.. in black archival and cut out fairly closely, before sticking to the page with multi matt medium. I blended the edges with more London Bus.

 then the stencil came in - I used a mixture of Claret and Blood Orange and just stencilled the words (there is a gorgeous flower on this stencil too), before deciding that there needed a "pop"... out came the white Sharpie, to outline the larger words

 and some teeny butterflies (these are from a QVC set that Tim had a few years ago when he came over to the UK) Stamped them in Snowflake Fresco.

Have a good day, even if it is Monday!!
