Countryview Crafts - More background inspiration.

Good morning all! I hope you are well today! Today its my turn over at countryviewchallenges to try to provide you with more inspiration to join in our Backgrounds challenge.

Today I have another journal page to share with you - this time I have made it mostly via brayering acrylic paints then added some stamps and stencils. Here's what i did:




I built up painty layers on my journal pages ...


Once happy I moved on to some painty additions ...


using a lid and paint ..


and a stencil and brush ...


I liked the look here - then i moved on to stamping ...


I used tasty textures stamps from Indigo blu



This is the final page spread after adding more stamps:



I hope you can join us over at countryviewchallenges this month - where you would be in with a chance to win a £20 voucher. 

Big Hugs

  19. A fantastic double journal page, your background looks fabulous. I'm not very good at random stamping, my brain wants to line things up or make them symmetrical. Love the quote, the image works perfectly with it.
