This background is a paper scrap that included that pretty doily and
lilac to start. I just trimmed the 12x12 down to fit my Memories
Journal page and it was one of those "put something on a page" prompts
from early on with our group journaling process at art aMUSEment. So there that page sat - needing finishing.
I was looking through my images
to Prismacolour and found the "lady with the mirror" (a freebee from
Papercraft Inspirations) and thought she might do well with this page. I
took her colour scheme from the scrap paper.
The butterfly was a free
B&W image that I used the Prismacolours on as well. The flowers at
top left and bottom right are diecuts. The quote was boxed in by a
scalloped template, done in pink marker and white-out pen. All of the
drop shadows in pink were done with watercolour pencil and blended with water. A Stazon light
pink ink was used on a floral scroll stamp to add a bit more interest to
the background. That bit of lace was needed on the edge because of
over-spill colours from previously painted pages and I needed
camouflage. :-)
This is absolutely gorgeous, Von! I love how you have used so many strong elements, each able to stand alone, actually, but together they are powerful!! Great sentiment, by the way!
