Back ground is clover, butterscoth, and raspberry alcohol inks with snowcap mixative to give them a pastel tone on top of a gesso-ed brick pattern. Then Tim Holtz barbed wire masks with PInk cosmic shimmer and pearl Perfect pearls paints misted on them. The ballerina is from MME Lost and Found 2 and stamped in Wild honey, Worn lipstick and Evergreen bough onto book paper which was painted with watered down white acrylic paint so the stamping showed up more;
I added the writing in black and white journalling pens and a little definition to the bricks in the white pen. Also would like to note I got a book from a charity shop that they were going to throw out as it was missing pages so I didn't destroy a usable book (Perish the thought!) so if you like using book paper ask in your local charity shop for any they cannot sell usually I got books, sheet music and a map for my craftyness that way for £1 :D
Thanks for popping by xxx
I know what you mean about destroying useable books...I have that same...I just can't do it - even when they are getting thrown out :) Beautiful page, love all the inks and colour and the ballerinas - love the motto too I want to do that more :)
