Wish me luck

Over on the Crafty Individuals blog, they are having an anything goes challenge. As long as you include one of their products. I have been coaxed over by the very talented Lynne Moncrieff and am joining in for the first time.

I began by covering my journal page in overlapped stamping of the background stamp CI-237 using Coffee Archival. Next, I tore round some CI images that I find so useful and glued them onto my page.
Next, I stamped over the images with a large heart stamp using Black Archival.
I covered all the remaining background with fresco paint in Taupe and stamped some script with coffee archival.
I stamped a couple of sentiments and then wrote the lyrics to Gracie Fields, "Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye" around some of the hearts.
I really enjoyed playing with these beautiful images and it has given me ideas to experiment further.

I am entering this into the CI challenge.

    Hazel,
    I am humbled at your words, thank you so much. Glad that you have decided to join us at the Crafty Individuals challenge especially with this stunning journal page. Great composition and I love that you worked with CI vintage images yet the hearts and journaling bring an almost contemporary feel to the page.
    Thanks so much for joining us.
    Good Luck Wishes
    Lynne

    Love how the images seem to glow from the Taupe background, and the hearts make the whole thing even more romantic and nostalgic.
