la belle fleur diary...

Greetings everyone.....

Here are my first few pages for 'the belle fleur diary' - Kellies online FREE course

These pages are about the law of attraction...helpful guides printed upon paper to browse through at leisure.

• I used gesso, acrylics/water colour for backgound with negative stencils/neocolour crayons and stamps/in.
• Tip: As no vellum was available I used tracing paper - worked a treat :)

Final touch, I added a sprig of sweet annie to page for aroma and decorative properties.

I really enjoyed working on these pages...I was just looking at the blank pages waiting for my creative juices to flow....it seemed to take forever lol

So I just jumped in and went with the theme of pink and green. (kellies fav colours - my inspiration) From the calm, plain cream page I mixed the two colours via neg stencils of a flower / leaf shape via neocolour crayons...the creativity started to flow to my surprise.

So instead of waiting to feel a creative surge...follow a small idea/a small theme and then it grows....blossoms :) x

in progress paper doll

She is steadily coming along :)

I just wanted to share my stages with you.

I used a few stems from a bunch of artificial flowers I had and cut thin petal shapes then loosely arranged prior to securing (via glue) to doll.

I set leaves from the stem behind the petals.
