.. have fallen a couple of prompts behind on my Wanderlust book prompts, part of the Everything Art course. This one, prompt 7, was "Everything I did today" and was going to be something completely different, as Monty Python would have said.
I brayered my journal page with Stone, Mushroom, Zucchini, Winter Green frescos leaving a patchy look to the background. I lightly sanded it so I would be able to write over it better.
I hunted through my Paperartsy stamps sets for some springlike flowers and stamped them in Watering Can archival ink, on the page. It's a bit bumpy because of what's beneath it now, so got a rustic effect! I also stamped some grassy images repeatedly across the bottom of the page, in both green and black
Rummaged through some old Kew photos (back in the day before I had a digital camera, so had prints of my visits! - this is from May 2009) but the blossom was evident last week when I actually went for the purpose of this page
then wrote on my page
Regular blog visitors will know how much I love going to Kew, and I have some very happy memories of trips there.
Hope you like this one, now on to the next prompt!

I love this Helen, it reflects the pleasure and beauty that you enjoy at Kew! Am I right in thinking that you are more confident with your writing too? Xx
