A stencilled journal page

 



Good Wednesday Morning Ladies,  

Welcome to the first day of April,   March absolutely flew by, April is a busy month in the garden,  lots of sowing seeds and potting up and potting on to be done.  It's an exciting month, seeing the garden starting to blossom and bloom.  The birds are really active too, it'a so lovely watching them flitting about.  


It's quite a coincidence that this is todays Reminder as I am waking up to another day on my own,  both girls are off today but they have made plans to go Frisbee Golfing and taking a picnic lunch,  I certainly wouldn't want them knowing that I dread being on my own, as I would never want them to feel bad,  Paul us usually home on a Wednesday but he has a mid afternoon meeting so will be gone all day.  I guess that means I have plenty of time to craft !!    

The other thing that i am grateful for is that I can reach out and you lovely friends will be there to chatx   I hope that you all feel that you aren't alone too ❤️ 

Today I am sharing a journal page I made using my Bew Tim Holtz Wheel Stencil,   I blended Distress Oxide Mustard Seed,  Twisted Citron,  Broken China and Faded Jeans through the color wheel Stencil,  I was following a Vicky P tutorial but she used sprays and I found them too messy,  after spritzing with water and adding some splatters of the same colour inks I dried the piece.


This was before adding splats of ink,  after it was dry I added some stamping and stencilling with Black Texture paste,  which bought some drama and texture to the page.  The finishing touches were too plain white butterflies and the little sentiment strip, oh and some white splatters!  

I really love this stencil !! 

I hope that you have an awesome start to April, 

Love & hugs to all,

Sandra xxx

  1. You definitely are not on your own we’re here You’ll struggle I know but you’ll be fine and if push comes to shove they’re on the end of a telephone call
    Your card is beautiful I think I saw Paula P demonstrating this stencil to create your own colour wheel or something similar I must admit I keep looking at ones like this on A&C

    1. Sorry to ask Sonia but did you mean that you used a piece of card and concertina that in-between the dome shaped pieces of card ?

  3. Hi everyone
    Fabulous journal page. Great shape for making a rainbow and everything is looking amazing together 👍
    No one in this group will ever have to feel alone and like the others saying we are only a quick phone call/ facetime away. Probably crafting is what can make the time to go quickly and put some music on and sing along, which in my case sound like I'm strangling a cat 🤭
    Was out quickly this morning but have felt for a few days like coming down with something and headaches but nothing yet, just very tired but it might be because going to bed at 2.45 last night or should I say this morning 🤗
    Hope your day was good. Many hugs to you all xxx

  4. Love your card and the insert, it is so thoughtful and reassuring, we all like to know that we are not alone. I love it.
    Hope your day was not too stressful - being on your own, remember that we are all always here for you.
    Sending love and hugs to you all, Brenda xxx

  5. Hi Sandra and all. Beautiful stencilled colours and with the pretty butterflies. Hope the day went quickly for you xx
    Lilian I hope you are not in as much pain now. It gets you down doesn’t it. I’m really struggling but there’s nothing you can do to help us there xx
    Another failed blood test today. Have to be there for 8.50am tomorrow as it’s an emergency test so needs doing asap! Sleep well everyone. Take care. Love Sue xx
