More Journal Swap Pages

Hi, here are my latest journal swap pages.

The birds are just so funny.  They came from a Halloween set that I just couldn't resist (even though it was February at the time!)  The leaves are from my favourite Dylusions set, the grass is PaperArtsy and all the rest are Inkadinkado.

I used Dylusion spray inks for the background with an iridescent glimmer mist through a flower stencil on top.  I also stamped a butterfly over the background, but it's difficult to see as I used pink ink on the pink background areas, purple on purple etc.  The leaves and birds are stamped in black on scraps of scrapbook paper and then paper pieced.  I used my memories black ink that I have had since I started stamping in 1998 and it's still my most used stamp pad.

I made a simpler version of the bird page using scrapbook green paper as the background and colouring the leaves with pro markers.  They made fun birthday cards.

Kraft Butterfly I stamped this butterfly a while ago and sprayed it with a gold glimmer mist. This bled the colours whilst keeping most of the detail. I had no idea what to do with it, but it was far too nice to bin. Here I've used the card layout from Heather, I love her kraft cards but this is my first. I couldn't find a designer paper to link the Laura Ashley ribbon and butterfly, so I stamped my own.
