Spring???

It could well be on it's way now...the snow around here has almost disappeared - the odd bits that left are the remains of swept away piles and melting snowmen!

 I am joining In at Art Journal Journey with this 'Spring' page which is Rosie's theme this month.

  I am also joining in at Paper Artsy's Watercolour theme with my distress oxides and distress inks that have been splashed with water to remove some of the colour!
I added some stencilling, stamping using a Paper Artsy Hot Picks (1602) and some marks made with a faux credit card. The quote is a Lin Brown one.
As the back of this page has some very heavy texture on it I had to stamp the quote and part of the flower stamp on to deli paper and add it with gel medium.

 Thanks for looking, Chrisx

    Beautiful spring page, love the delicate colours. The snow melted today, was able to go for a nice, long - if rather muddy - walk. It's zoomed up to 11° today, wonder how long it will last?! Hugs, Valerie

    This is beautiful, Chris. Love those stamps and no, I don't have them...yet :-)

    The thaw began yesterday here - less snow than most people here, I think - and it's rained most of today. I prefer snow to rain any day, lol - at least it's often sunny when it snows!

    Have a good week. Cath x

    Cool background-it looks tie-dyed- the colors and dots are perfect and then adding all the black stamped images looks really good. (on the background). Hugs-Erika
