Earthday - bEARTHday

Hello everyone, and special welcome if you have arrived here from Elizabeth's blog 'The Altered Book Lover!
I was delighted to be asked by Elizabeth to join in her lead up to her bEARTHday by creating a 'green' page in my journal!

As many of you may know many of my journal pages start as a mop up page…..

….I always have scraps handy on my desk..

..so I did this first..

Yes, that is rare British sun shining on my desk - I had even had to pull the curtain across!
A little spattering using Inktense blocks and a little stiff brush!

 I stamped some leaves onto a mop up piece of paper towel…..using….my new Carabelle Studio stamps….

….and used this stamp from the same set to make this page
 

The heart began as a coke tin, was cut out, run through an embossing folder and dabbed with alcohol inks.

The little wispy bits are some scraps of ribbon, I'll show you how I did this another day when I feel a little better. 
I cut out the leaves on the mop up towel and made a flower

I hope I have given you some ideas on using up your scraps.

Apologies for my lack of visiting, I hope to be able to catch up soon!

Thank you for all your kind comments recently and….Thank You for looking, Chris
