Is spring coming?

Hi Everybody!

It's time for the weekend, have a good one!

I have another A3 mixed media piece.  The BG was brayered in white with a touch of pink and turquoise. The rectangles, flowers and dots were embossed with a soft mousse through a stencil, this has a wonderful, chalky effect. The quote is from the secret garden. The swan was added using one of the wonderful napkins Yvonne sent me, thanks again! I guess I am longing for spring!
I am linking to Paint Party Friday and to Paperbabe  Stamps Blog, dots.








Yesterday the sun rose up through the morning mist:



Some blue-sky and frosts temps pics from the Rhine:









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

  3. Good Morning Val! Was great to find your lovely blog post waiting for me when I opened my computer. Your journal page is gorgeous, love the soft colours. Little R keeps saying 'Itti', which means pretty! The photos are all fantastic, but I am in love with the sun rising though the mist, what a great shot. Have a nice day! Hugs, Sarah

The sunrise through the morning mist and wonderful blue skies are so pretty, and let's hope spring is on its way, although I think that we have more snow forecast for next week 😉.

  30. I am seeing so many journal pages with napkins as of late. Very intriguing this technique. I love the bold colors of the napkin against the soft pastel patterns.
    Happy weekend Valerie.

    1. Yes, they do nice trips from Spring through to Autumn, but in winter there's nothing.

  35. Your piece is the essence of spring. We have a fresh, deep snowfall, one that seems like it will take forever to melt. You remind me of the spring that will indeed come.
