More things with wings

Hi Everybody!

We had a cold and misty day here, good weather for staying home, reading and crafting.

For Art Journal Journey, things with wings,  I have another journal page. The background was painted with acrylics over gesso, and stenciled with various CWS stencils when it was dry. I fussy cut the sad looking little girl (Gecko Galz) and fitted her into the butterflies. I added highlights with a white gel-pen. Her drab dress reminded me of the song 'Georgy Girl' from the Seekers (1967) so I added part of the text as quote.
I am also linking to Mix it Monthly, angels








Have a great day you all, take care,and thanks a lot for coming by!

    Love this page Valerie especially with the reminder of the Seekers song. The girl may look sad but she's a beauty.

    Wow, die Seite rockt - ich bin total begeistert - herrliche Farben und Details.
    Wir hatten heute noch einen wunderbaren Sonnentag, aber ab morgen ist leider auch hier schlechtes Wetter angesagt.

    What a song, so beautifully sung and presented in such a straightforward way, thanks for this, Valerie.
    Absolutely love your painting and how you have made the butterflies together with the girl.
    Stunning background too.

    toll hast du deine schönen schmetterlingsmädels in die vintage anzeige eingebettet - und am allerschönsten finde ich, dass du sie so farbig gestaltet hast.
