Journalling with sprays

Hello lovelies and a good morning to you! How are you? I hope you are well and happy. We are good after a good day yesterday - I managed to swim another mile so I was pleased about that! My friend Sue and I are thinking about doing an outdoor swim race in the summer - sounds like lots of fun - I'm just a little worried about not being strong enough to do it - but I'll keep training anyway!

I have Shaun's mum arriving today for a week - I can't wait to see her - its been a while! Me and the girls are really looking forward to having her here.

Anyway - today I want to share a journalling page with you - I completed it using distress ink sprays - I did the background in sprays and allowed them to run and mix together (abandoned coral, fossilised amber and mowed lawn). I also sprayed another sheet more lightly with the same colours then stamped and fussy cut some paperartsy jofy stamps.


Here's the double page spread ...


a little closer - I stamped some images directly on the page and used some distress pens to colour them in partly.


I also added lots of floral words.


Love Jofy!!!!

I'd like to enter these pages into the following challenges:

My word - thats a lot of challenges!!!! Lol!!!!

Looking forward to seeing what you've been up to!

Big hugs
