Genius or crazy

The new topic over on the Paperartsy blog is one of my favourite challenges.....White Space!
Forever a challenge for me, as I strive to achieve the perfect balance, but am often unable to stop going, adding extra bits and bobs.

I have recently bought a sentiment that I have been itching to use, and today seemed the perfect time.

I started in my journal by finger painting some stripes in Fresco Caribbean Sea and Southern Skies.
Next, I stamped with blue archival using PA stamps Ink and the dog, Wings 3 and Femme 3.
Then I used one of Darcy'
s new stencils and Magenta archival to create some circles and swiped the ink pad across the page.
A little bit of doodling, the sentiment and the all important line with black pen and...."Step away from the page!".....enough......leave it!

Had a blast doing this, and I hope that you get the point!
Am entering this into the PA challenge.


It really is white space....it just looks a bit dark as I took the photo in the evening.
