Bright...and beautiful...

...and a lot of fun to make! I love Carabelle Studio stamps - they have some great designers! This time I have used some fun flowers by Azoline!
I also love having time to play - I covered a page with book paper and then added lace, turmeric tea bag and some Grunge paste through a stencil to add more texture! 
Everything had a coat of Fresco paint - Cheesecake - I then added more paint through a stencil and stamped some lettering and text with Versaclair ink.

 Azoloine's large stamp was stamped onto some quite sturdy rice paper and partially coloured with Distress markers before cutting off part of the image. I also cut out some random 'flowers' but left them black and white.
The images were added and my attempt to get a decent stamping of the quote failed so I stamped it onto Deli paper and added it over the top of where I had stamped! 

 This page was made for Rike's 'The Colour Yellow' theme at Art Journal Journey!

 Thanks for looking, Chris

    This is beautiful, Chris! I thought of saying "simply beautiful," but then I thought, no. It's beautiful in its complexity. I love it! Eileen xx
