Stamperia Journal page

Good Friday Morning Ladies,  

Well we have had a couple of really windy days,  we can't really complain because Costa Brava translates to 'Wild Coast ' for that reason,  the wind is called 'Tramuntana' which translates to 'Beyond the Mountains' it happens in cycles of 3,  so we are hoping it will be just the 3 days (not 6 or 9). So yesterday for us was a pool day.

I'm not sure what we are 'feeling ' but whatever it is it's OK,  at the time of writing this I feel 'Windswept ' 🤣😂

Today I am sharing a journal page that I made before we left for holiday,  I used my Stamperia 'All Around ' Collection (i think).  

I added some paint to the background using a dry brush,  then added a little white paint to make the background paper less busy.  I took a stencil and used embossing paste to give more texture and detail to the page.  For a bit more texture I added the plasterboard tape behind where the focal point would be.  

Next came the fun part,  picking out the die cuts abd ephemera to build the scene (inspired by Vicki P),  I love the idea of using the paint brush as the body of the butterfly!  I added rub on leaves to opposite corners and some crocheted lace stapled in place to put the sentiment on.  A few splatters finish the page. 

Now I was going to add this piece straight to my journal but look how different the colours look on the black mat,  they really pop,  so I will add a black mat to the page before sticking it in. 

I hope that you all have a lovely Friday,

Love and hugs to all, 

Sandra xxx
