Hi everyone. I've been clearing out a photo folder and came across this photo of a spread in my art book which I didn't get around to putting on the blog so I thought I'd do it today, the colours make me think of spring which in this dull weather is cheering.
The background is gesso followed by acrylic paint and I like this combination of colours. There are butterfly image transfers done with gel medium, script stamping, stenciling with black ink and white paint, some text from a quotation and some bubble wrap prints with white paint. I've used a bingo stencil which has completely disappeared since then and all in all I like the effect which looks like there are lots posters which have been layered over the top of each other.
Thanks as always for your lovely comments, I always appreciate them.

Stunning pages Chris - it's a beautiful colour combo!! Not sure if I've already congratulated you on your Craft Stamper news - I was so excited to hear, can't wait to see your designs in there - it's my favourite magazine!! Hugs, Juliexx
Very eye catching Chris!
Just Beautiful Chris!
Utterly stunning... I've been trying to find some time to get to some journalling, and this might just do the trick to nudge me there. Completely inspirational - maybe the loveliest journalling pages I've seen!

Hi Chris, your pages are breathtakingly beautiful - glorious, in fact. Butterflies are my most favourite creatures and you have captured their beauty, delicacy and colour so well on these wonderful pages. I totally agree with Alison above - if you have not seen Alison's work, please do have a look, she is very inspirational too - just like you! Hugs, Anne x

Well you should like this -- I am crazy about it and it is your art journal that started me down the road I am on now and I find it so very exciting. I see Alison is following you now too - she is one gifted artist. You wait until Kelly sees this - she is going to flip out! I just sent her an art journal to start not long ago. You are our muse pretty lady and how much fun it is!!!
