WOYWW 535

Morning deskers.  Once again it's Wednesday and time to share our creative crafty spaces for Julia and the gang at Stamping-Ground for WOYWW 
After last week's poor showing here I had to make sure I have something to show this week (especially as next week I will be away and may not get to join in  on time, unless I get something scheduled to cheat with!!)  
So I spent a bit of time at the weekend playing in my journal 

the finished page - yes FINISHED  

 now for some step by steps.

my new Fresco paints from Paperartsy were looking accusingly from my craft mat at me, so it was time to try some out..

love the blue, called Summer Sky and the light purples are lovely


 also used some of the new JoFY stamps which are just fab - this week I used them as flowers not faces!  (see last week if you don't know what that means!)



 and added the lovely purples and pinks
 and the Cloud 9 (a gorgeous off white) for accents
and splatters - although they are very subtle and I may add some black ones too.   so not finished after all then....


last week's Kew link here    obviously with me being away from the weekend means there'll be a gap in my visits... hope my feet don't take me in the wrong direction!  

Have a great WOYWW  - see you at a desk near here soon.

    This is absolutely gorgeous, Helen, and I know it used one of your favorite colors, too. Have fun wandering or doing a walkabout next week.

    Such a lovely page Helen - but no enabling this week?
    It is not cheating if you schedule so you do it and I will try to remember and link you when I do mine. Can't not have Helen on a Whizday.
    Hugs, Neet 7 xx

    Beautiful page, Helen. I love the colour combinations, beautiful shades, and the 'flower' stamps. And who wouldn't like a paint called 'Cloud 9'! Have a great weekend. Hugs, Elizabeth x #21

    Hi Helen.
    Gorgeous colours on your journal page. I also loved the photographic tour of Kew - nearly as good as being there!

    Love your journal pages. I think the light purple and the blue are my favorite colors on it. I like how you versatile that stamp is. I am trying to do that more with my stamps too. More bang for the buck! Thanks for stopping by yesterday. Have a great week!

    Hi Helen yes agree those paints are really really nice colours, maybe add variety if coloured splatters with black, loved those stamps too, really nice ones out there, should be a law against it I think! 😉

    Re Lorikeet it’s the purple blue head that gives him away, and his noise, or hers!

    Happy very belated WOYWW. Thanks for sharing, Shaz in Oz.x #20

    Oh, how lovely! I love how the book page scraps seem to glow amidst the soft blues and purples (I've been playing with them too... you'll see next week!). I've also really been enjoying Cloud 9 - there's something really textural about it as a colour and a paint - an even chalkier chalkiness than the rest of the Frescos.
