Now I decided to use my Art Journal for this one - working on a double page.....I work in it from time to time & intend to do more in 2016.

I choose to use the other bauble colours as well...such a pretty inspiration.

 

 

Here is my 2 page arty journal.

I began with a thin layer of Decorart Old Gold paint...then Finnabair gold crackle paint & a stencil.

 

Then Heidi Swapp stencils &  Colourshine sprays..in Mint, Pink & Aqua

Stamping using about 5 different stamps (I never remember where they are from) & Dew Drop inks

 

 I choose this Old English quote

As every thread of gold is valuable, so is every moment of time.

I certainly enjoyed playing with these pages over the last few days.

Thank you for a lovely end of year challenge.

Will miss the outgoing DT's - always lovely work.

Hugs xx
