Happy Wednesday! It's a journal page from me this time using one of the Mabel Lucie Attwell images from the "Alice in Wonderland" range....certainly very different to her more famous cherubic children images :)
2. Roughly scribbled stripes of neocolour (you could used Distress Inks if you prefer) in blue, ochre and green and blended with water for a loose interpretation of sky, hills and grassy foreground....painting up to the outline of the stamped image. Also coloured a bit of thick watercolour paper the same way and stamped the scrabble letters I needed from "Scrabble and Tags" and the word woman from "Word Set Nudes" in Archival black.
3. Right......Get ready for a saga! LOL
Stamped the flower from "Flower Power" around the edge with Archival sepia and coloured with some purple and pink neocolour.
...that did not look enough...
...so I stamped the solid circle from the same plate in the centres with Archival crimson.
...that looked too bold!...
...so I stamped the outline circle from the same plate using some Adirondack paint dabber snow cap over the top.
...that still did not do the trick!!...
...Sooooooooo stamped the solid circle in Distress Ink walnut stain over the top again.
...still not quite right!!!! LOL...
...Soooooo added dots of gold using an out liner pen to the centres and at last it looked O.K.
(although I have a sneaking suspicion I just might return to it at some stage to tweak it)!!!

4. Coloured Alice with Distress Inks in spiced marmalade, scattered straw, weathered wood, and brushed corduroy using them as a watercolour (one of my favourite ways to colour in).
5. It's hard to see but I added a feint stamping of the "Punk Plaid Background" in weathered wood to the spine side of the page.
6. Attached the scrabble letters and the word woman with Claudine Hellmuth Studio multi medium matte. Hand drew the other words using a Sharpie pen and roughly blocked round them with an orange neocolour.
That made a change from a card didn't it? LOL :) See you again soon!
