Through the trees

 

I thought I would share my make for the current Lavinia challenge where the theme is "Through the trees".

For once the idea in my head actually worked! I decided to use two Lavinia stencils starting at the top for the leaves graduating the colour and then at the bottom for fallen petals. I put the stencils across ways as this is a journal page and is quite wide. 

Then I stamped the trees, using grey ink for those in the distance. I added various other stamps with little white highlights and gold pen then deepening the ink blending at the top of the page. The final touch was stamping the wording in grey with some of the words in black at the bottom of the page.

I was also very brave and used a proper page from a loose leaf journal I had yet to begin. I tend to use my older repurposed ones, but decided I had to start somewhere!
