Spring - the cooler version!

Just when we thought Spring had arrived it has turned cooler again! Not to worry - this page will take us to a brighter view!

My friend Elizabeth said the other week Spring makes her think of Paris! As you know I love Paris at any time of the year and the quote I have used sums up how I feel about my favourite city!

The page started like this!

 I found the Eiffel Tower image on a piece of designer paper while making more room on my shelves....

...and I also 'found' this forgotten stencil with egg shaped holes.
I blended some distress inks over the stencil and added the Tim Holtz Paris background stamp randomly over the page.
It looked a bit empty with just the Eiffel Tower so I used some wallpaper bits(stamps and butterflies) from a sample we had tried against our bedroom wall(not the right colour so rejected, but destined to be on a journal page one day!!)I also cut a little bit more from the designer paper.
Finally I added a quote from an Indigoblu set I won a while ago!

I think this will be my last chance to join in at Art Journal Journey with Rosie's Spring theme! I wish I had had time to join in more but there has been a lot going on this month!!

I hope you all have a Happy Easter whatever the weather!

Thanks for looking, Chris
