A journal page to start our new challenge

 Good Monday Morning Ladies, 

I hope that you all had a good weekend,  ours was very relaxed,  just as my love requested.  He managed to finish his book in the garden, then spent time setting up his new Tablet,  he was impressed at how he could now save recordings on his bird feeder camera as well as have photos.  

I have done something to my 'good' knee so my day was a bit restricted,  I am currently creating a 'Masterboard' as part of a Tracey Evans workshop,  so I did a bit more to that yesterday.  We had a lovely steak dinner (Paul's real birthday meal). That was the weekend,  Paul asked me to thank you for his birthday wishes xxx

Today I am sharing a journal page that I created following a Tracey Evans YouTube tutorial,  the background was created using a stencil, I used three different shades of green Distress Oxides on the stencil, then spritzed with water and placed on my page, I popped a little piece of kitchen roll over it and pressed it into the page, I then did some background stamping in Morning Mist, then some darker bits in black.  I stamped the butterfly stamp in green.  The flower was stamped in brown, I fussy cut the flowers and adhered them over the stem. 

I used my ticket stencil to create the tickets,  to which I added some of the ephemera stamps on Tracey’s stamps,  I fussy cut them and added them to the page.  I added the three birds, the word and then added shading and some ink splatters to finish. 

I hope that you all have a great start to your week, 

Love and hugs to all of you, 

Sandra xxx
