Before I start my post properly I would like to say 'Hello' to Christine who tapped me on the shoulder at Happy Stampers last week to tell me that although she isn't a blogger she enjoyed looking at my blog! It was lovely to meet you Christine, I hope you enjoy today's post!
Once again I have been reflecting on how fortunate we are! Yes we both have a few health problems, things don't always go as planned and there have been obstacles to overcome over the years, but we both know that we are blessed to have a lovely family and friends and to be able to travel like we do!
My page started with a splodged stencil that I had used, then spritzed to get the last bits of ink off.
I made this page so quickly that there are no photos of the process, but I think it is fairly self explanatory!
I used a Crafty Individuals background stamp, one of Carabelle Studios stamp sets by Azoline, the horse and the swirl are Visible Images stamps and the quote is an old Unity one.
I added some rub-on gilding which shows up better on the bottom photo.
I hope this will be acceptable for Art Journal Journey, where Elke has chose Landscapes Of the Soul for her them this month.
Thanks for looking, Chris

THIS IS SIMPLY AMAZING - the background, the motifs- the colours and the rub on gilding and that quote is such a fantastic one - a delight is this page!
I just thought of you Chris as I am working on a piece for "a special theme" !

I am very happy for your link for my topic to AJJ

I agree with Susi - this is a really special page... it is full of joy and beauty, and is so uplifting, particularly when you add in your words today too. I love the gilded hoof prints of the horse as he flies, and those flowers are magical with just the hint of shimmer too - and all over that wonderful, soft, stencil-print sky. Magical in all sorts of ways.

The jumping horse is much beautiful with these shining sparks on the feet and tail, and on these gorgeous flowers! I also like your background with the blue color and the patterns.
Chris this is such a magical piece that is a delight to look at. Excellent job and I love the quote you used.
