Inspired by the Art Journals i see on other blogs, i have started making the photo album of Rocket’s Christening.
The diagonal lines on the left were done with a stamp i made out of an eraser. And I used a ‘pointy circle’ Balzer Design stencil to compliment the church window shape.
Hope you like it! Rocket’s Mum does and gave me permission to post the page.

what a really lovely spread. I like the way you used Julie’s stencil and how the photos blend into the pages.

so glad you like it Linda, i painted over the edges of the photos and most of the rest of the page with a textured acrylic gel medium, which i’ve only recently heard about on Martha Marshall’s blog, ‘An Artist’s Journal’. I’m loving the sharing all these creative tips. Thanks for dropping by.
