Challenge 194 St David's Day and March Journal pages










Here are my March journal pages for Kate Crane's challenge which are also my DT entries for my own challenge this week.
The theme for my challenge is St David's Day and as this was fitting for both challenges I combined them.
I used Distress inks to create the background on watercolour cardwith some dabs of Gold Dabber as well. I used a stencil in the background to get the ghosting effect with the diamond shapes and oversprayed with gold glimmer spray. I added some rectangles in shades of yellow then attached some cut out flowers and leaves, epoxy flower stickers and some rubons.....decided this was a good way to use them up as I have boxes of them that I never use.
I stamped using a brown Versafine ink and  a well used flourish stamp from Stamp Addicts and a new Dyan Reaveley border stamp.  The shamrock is for St Patrick's Day which is also my birthday and the clock is to remind me to put the clocks forward.... spring forward remember. I added the chipboard letters for the month and some distressing round the edges of the pages and added the dates in pen. A few stamps with my 'wishing you rainbows' completed the look.
I hope next month I will have the fab spray inks from Dyan to work with.
Oops just realised I forgot to put the full moon on which is the 8th March so I have added it now.
I hope you like my pages... check out Kate's blog to enter her challenge and my blog for my challenge.
