Keeping Calm!

I'm sure I have mentioned before that I find working in my journals have a calming effect on me!
This page, as many of my pages do, started with a mop up - the stencil had been used on another page so I spritzed it and just pressed onto a page in an open journal.
It had stayed there for sometime but when I wanted a starter to calm me after last week I added inks, and some paint tinted texture paste through a rays type stencil. I stamped the Paper Artsy Lynne Perrella stamp and used the same colour inks (the face is green but doesn't show up in the photos. 

I stamped the Paper Artsy Lynne Perrella stamp and used the same colour inks (the face is green but doesn't show up in the photos). 

I added some script and stuck down the image onto some old gold wrapping paper.

I added some of my new favourite product - Art Basics 3D Transparent Gloss Gel through a little squares stencil and then added some black ink using the same stencil - just randomly over the page. (Can you tell I was enjoying myself?)

I also used the 3D gloss through a lattice stencil randomly too - because I could!! I added little touches of gold transfer foil
Finally the words - Tim's Small talk came up with just the words I needed!

Not that I live up to these words every day….but I would like to!! 

I would like to enter the following challenges

Thanks for looking, Chris
