New Beginnings and new stamps :D)

This months prompt from Dawn's Journal Journey's is
I have new stamps....from Papermania's Chronology collection


(and yes I have just noticed I spelled beginnings wrong :/)

Easy start, as I have gotten into the habit of wiping excess paint from other projects onto book pages


and I also received some new Cosmic Shimmer chalk sprays for Christmas, so I added green ad yellow to blend the page


Over stamped with new stamps and TH Distress Soot black(took ages to dry on top of shimmer sprays so I recommend stazon next time)



In fact it was taking so long to dry that I rubbed most of it off, but as happy accidents go it just faded the images into the page more, which I liked :D
After that it was a matter of doodling with my sakura souffle pens. 

The jounaling reads:

Life is full of new beginnings...
if we only take the time to enjoy a few...
we will find great adventures!

 Relish the Adventure...


Enjoy :D XXX

  9. Lovely to see your colorful pages in progress and I too hate to waste paint so wiping the brush clean on other surfaces is a plus isn't it ;)
    Great end result too!

    Happy new year to you!
