I have been playing in my journals again,spending some quiet time meditating and creating.
This page here,was created during a very reflective time this past weekend.
My star represents Hope
and the muses represent the sisterhood
that is ever present in my life.
~I am thankful for you all~
My journal background was created using one of my new favorite products by Paper Artsy-Infusions!
I just Love these little powders of pure color joy!
Here I used clear embossing paste mixed with embossing powder through a stencil.
Then added a few more favorites...
Lindy's Starburst Sprays~yummy shimmer
and then some splatters were made by blowing air through a straw onto the wet colors
After the background dried,I added
the beautiful Muses graphic by itKuPiLLi
I am such a fan of her designs!

Next came the pressed leaves & flowers.
These are from my sis,Judy,who recently paid a visit and brought her stash of dried flora from last summer's bounty.
these were attached with matte medium
finally more splatters were added by loading a paintbrush with some white paint and gently tapping it over the page.
and here is the full page~hope you like it as well as I do!
I might have to mount it to a canvas-what do you think?

GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS! So beautiful, love all the colors and the dried flowers are wonderful. Yes, you should frame it.
A beautiful page indeed, Jackie!
I especially love how you managed to really fuse the lovely ladies with that amazing background! Very cleverly and well done!
And I can see (or rather feel) the joy you had during the creative process. There's been spent a lot of patience and attention to detail - which makes it as precious as it is.
Love it!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful make with us at Emerald Creek Dares!

Your journal page is fantastic, love all the colours and the gorgeous images. Have a great day, hugs, Valerie
I think it is amazingly beautiful, Jackie, I love the Infusions, too, and the colors you choose are gorgeous together with the muses. Also love the glitter creating the magic feeling, I think belongs to the muses, and framing them with the leaves and dried flowers, makes it a masterpiece, dear. xox
I love this most beautiful mixed-media art. I've always admired Botticelli's painting 'La Primavera', and you made it fabulously.
Have wonderful time xx
A stunning journal page, Jackie - really beautiful.x
Your lovely page is gorgeous and would make a wonderful hanging
Your lovely ladies remind of the Three Graces ♥♥♥
Beautiful post and creation in each and every detail dear heart.
