Wanderlust Book Prompt - my past
Another tough challenge for the Wanderlust journal challenge but it's done. The prompt is "my past". just that.. no more clues or hints or prompts.
My Wanderlust journal is a 12x12 Kraft journal, but I painted the page white, then

I wrote the title in the middle of the black space and then picked some words names and places that have significance for me and wrote them on the page, then hid them all with paper flowers from my stash, toning them with the stencilled ones.

I love the flowers and the way they really pop against the dark background. However, I'm left with so many questions! How does this relate to your past?
ReplyDeleteLove how the flowers pop against the black! Great page!
ReplyDeleteThis really is brilliant Helen! I have quite a few hidden journaling pages - gets things out of my head! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteLove the drama of the page but the bravery in sharing the uncompleted page is quite incredible. Much love x
ReplyDeleteOooh missed this due to pc issues, love it, the black really makes the pink pop xx
ReplyDeleteThe flowers look amazing against the black background, and I love the idea of the hidden words about your past under some of the petals.

Alison has taken the words from my fingers, lol! I too love those flowers against the black. I love the hibiscus stencil and nice idea to hide the words.
