Butterfly journal page

A fun quote,  I am hoping it's  just

My mind that's 'growing'!! 🤣

Good Friday Morning Ladies, 

Well did you Ladies  get the gale force winds??  It started to pick up here early afternoon as Soph and I were driving back from Cirencester (Bladder Clinic) and lunch out. As the afternoon went on the wind picked up,  it looks worse in our garden because we have so many big trees, they were bending and swaying like crazy, fingers crossed that everyone stays safe and these gales don't cause and structural damage.

I got back from Cirencester and really had the urge to get crafting,  however I started to tidy my desk which turned in to a much larger tidy and reorganise,  until Soph came downstairs and looked at me and told me to sit down and insisted on me taking my BP which had shot up, she said she knew I wasn't right as my face was so red.  I made room on my desk and started crafting, which is the best thing for calming down a busy mind.  Today's little journal page is the result.

I started out by sprinkling some of my Lindys Powders onto my 3x5 inch gel plate, I spritzed with water and placed it on my journal page and squished the powders about, moving the colours over the page.  I dried it quickly and added some stamping and then some texture paste through a stencil.   I tried a new product called PET tape by Arden Creative,  I initially thought it was the whole thing that you used but realised you peeled the sticker off of the shiny carrier and added it to my page, a larger piece on the left, small on the right,  next came the lovely little tickets,  I absolutely love them.  I tore off a few and added them to my page,  

I have tried to capture the sparkle here 

This is the background without the finishing touches.  The shimmery pigment powders have so many different colours in them.

I added some gauze for some extra texture  it's a bit like Tracy Evans adding the cotton under her focal images.   I found a butterfly on some old SU papers that worked with the colours and fussy cut it and added it over the gauze.  I found a sentiment,  added it to a black mat and added it to the cluster at the bottom of the page.  

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

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra xxx
