Journal page

Evening all! I hope you are well and happy. Thanks for your kind comments on yesterdays post - we truely did have a lovely time on holidays and my day at Clarity Cumbria was fabulous. Today it was world thinking day so we went down to service at the church then we had a roller disco at a local sports hall - I think the girls enjoyed it and thankfully there weren't any broken bones!

I wanted to show you my journal page from last night - but before I do here's the card that inspired the technical side of the page.


So its the Bokeh technique - I used faded jeans, ripe persimmon and cracked pistachio distress inks plus  plus Jo's bubble stencil and then added the white circles in white brilliance ink. I used exactly the same idea on the journal page - the theme for this was Chinese New Year - its now the year of the goat - I found out that 1967 was also the year of the goat so I decided to make the page for Shaun:


All the words in the circle came from information on goats personality traits - it seems that they all fit Shaun so well. I used abandoned coral, cracked pistachio, peacock feathers and picked raspberry this time in distress inks - love the new abandoned coral - so very pretty! The stamps are all Clarity Wee Folk. 

Hope you like my interpretation of the theme - a bit lateral I know but thats what happened! 

I'd like to enter this into pinkleart sunday-stamper-week-346-new-moon-on - abandoned coral is my new!!!

Big Hugs
