So, this is my third entry into the 5th Anniversary "A Vintage Journey" challenge.
The reason that I have kept playing was because I wanted to produce a piece that had some white space.
All too often I throw everything at my pages and don't know when to stop.
So when Jennie and Alison produced adorable pieces that had lots of breathing space , I needed to try.
I tried on my second entry but it didn't work out like that.
So, here is another part of the journey of my life, and a photo of my lovely Auntie Kit, out on a bike ride and enjoying a picnic. The photo looks very serene, so, I chose one of Alison's quotes and also stencilled some words.
I have stencilled, and stamped and used crackle paint, also infusions , distress inks and gold paint.
The book print is a die cut that I had leftover from something else.
I found it hard to get a balance and I found it hard to stop!
But, happy and thankful for the inspiration from the design team.
This is absolutely beautiful, Hazel! X

Hazel, I've enjoyed seeing each of your entries at A Vintage Journey, and I had to come say congratulations on achieving your goal. These pages are stunning and you have effectively used that white space along with just the perfect amount of gorgeous color. I think the quote fits this like a glove! REALLY, REALLY love this! I'm so happy you are celebrating with us at A Vintage Journey! We appreciate seeing your lovely artwork there on a consistent basis! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHow strange - I definitely saw this page, and could have sworn I commented, but there you go. I love the white space giving this page such an ethereal atmosphere, and the delicate collaging is delightful. I'm so happy that Jennie and I provided some of the inspiration, and I'm even more happy to see one of my all-time favourite quotes (and one I try to live by) on there.
