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..

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!!

Great pages Helen and that stamp is lovely!! I love the way the word laugh has gone across the flowers..loads of depth xx
Fabulous, dramatic page Helen. Love the word stencil and it's amazing how the pages really came to life once you added the white outlining and butterflies.

I love your choice of colors, words, stencils, and stamps. This spread is awesome.
What a gorgeous page, I love it.
gorgeous pages Helen... they look sort of Spanish to me... remind me of passionate flamenco dancers
