wake your dreams

well i have been having some inky playtime in my journal...i have used some summery colours and a range of stamps, gel pens, perfect pearls mist and more! so here are my pages :

i spritzed, stencilled ,stamped and doodled to create these pages and added two quotes..wake your dreams from Andy skinner plate and .. a life without dreams is just a life, from dylusions. i added some doodling in a black glaze pen and then when totally dry spritzed the page with perfect pearls....

rather bright in real life..but summery..
I used all sorts of stamps and just enjoyed playing!!
not sure if you can see the shimmer here, it makes the glossy parts stand out in certain lights..but i am no photographer!

I am entering this for the following competitions:

    Hi Trace, your work is fabulous and such an inspiration! I love that face stamp (think I may have said that before - lol) and Dyan's stamps (I have that set too) are amazing. Love the colours, the quotes and the way you have laid it all out - as I say - fabulous! Anne x

    Love this... it feels so free and playful (like you say). Think I've been getting bogged down in trying to fulfil challenge criteria. I need to just mess about a bit! Gorgeous stuff.
