Be-leaf in your self

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing an art journal page created using two sets of stamps that I bought from Personal Impressions and mixed them with some Shady Designs stamps .

To begin I stamped the main image,  from the Postcard, Leaves, Flowers and Post Mark stamp set, directly on to a page in my 5 x 5 inch journal using Versafine Clair nocturne ink. 

Next, I added three circles and three of the lines and circles from the Blooming Circle stamp set.

Then I coloured around the image using the lavender woodless watercolour pencil. I used a wet paintbrush to blend the ink out from the image.

Next, using a wet paintbrush I took colour from the tip of purple watercolour pencil and added a drop shadow to the image.

I then coloured the circles and stamp with the yellow watercolour pencil and blended it out with a damp paintbrush. 

On separate card,  I stamped the same image and some of the flowers and leaves from the Blooming Circle stamp set. I coloured them with the watercolour pencils and cut them out.

I then used matte medium to adhere them to the page.

Finally I stamped and cut out the sentiment.  I edged it with pink ink and added it to the page.
