Cut not the wings of your dreams…

Posted on February 9, 2012 by ajsartjournal

Hello friends

I hope everyone is well and happy.

This spread is from my 6″ x 6″ journal. I covered the pages with printed tissue paper then coloured them with yellow and green sparkly paint, the same batch that had set to a thick jelly and I thought would be unuseable. Then I added the borders with red acrylic paint. I know, I know another strange colour (Eng. spelling :-)) combination from me, but I like it. The background text is from a Tim Holtz reflections stamp. The two patches under the images are some translucent paper I coloured and edged with distress inks. The image of the man’s head is from the Graphics Fairy‘s blog. The girl with the wings may also be from the Graphic Fairy.

The wonderful quote is from Flavia.

That’s all for now.

Big love
