I have been creating a bird journal with some of the lovely papers by Sam Poole Designs which I downloaded from her Etsy account. It was my first time trying this and it was very pain free and great that I now have these papers I can print over again. However, my recent page threw a curveball. Those of you who know my work will know these really aren't my colours. I don't do a lot of purple. My apology is to Sam as these are not the colours she chose - however, my printer is running out of ink and this is what it gave me. I didn't want to just discard them so pulled on my big girl pants and created with purple tones. A bit of a shock but I survived. I had to grunge it up with some black to recover lol!
Extra stamping with the quote is by Sara Naumann for Paper Artsy. This quote is by Victor Hugo and is from her stamp set ESN22. It fits the page perfectly and is a reminder to me creating my journals that I can create this type of art which I'm finding so much more fulfilling than cards.
All other examples of this book so far are on my Instagram account https://www.instagram.com/the_welsh_crafter/
I'm adding this into the following challenges:
Tuesday Taggers - flying high

Hello, Fiona!! Lots to uncover and discover on your journal page!!! Great pairing of the quote and the sparrow and all the extra stamping, inking, etc. What a sweet reminder 'that she has wings'. We all need to know that we can fly! Not literally (except I did fall on the porch last night and could have used some wings to keep me upright!) -- but figuratively, that gals can try stuff, go places, learn new things, etc. Thanks for sharing your quote-included journal page with HQLQCB!! We appreciate the support as we're getting started this year in blogland!
