WOYWW 163(2)

 How quickly the week flies by and its that time again, WOYWW.  As you can see my space is now getting smaller, untidy girl is creeping back.   This is a fab journalling book I found which has canvas
front and back.   So I decided to start to paint F & B first, rather than last.   It is a work in progress.  So go across to the stamping ground and take part and show your desks.
 I have used Paperartsy Fresco paints, Decoart moulding paste for textureand some embossed paaper.
 This is the view from my workroom, Its a terrace, my Delilah is taking advantage of the first full suuny day we have had in ages.  this was yesterday.
another view of my garden from the terrace, nice and lush due to all our rain..

  14. Gorgeous journal cover, Francesca - the colour and texture is great. Nice to see a kitty enjoying the small amount of sunshine we've had!

    Thanks for your comment - yes, you certainly need the pink one as it's really juicy! Have you got the purple one? They are great together.

    Happy WOYWW,

  17. Hi Frances,
    So glad i could catch up with you again this week. Is that sun I see in your garden??!!! You lucky thing. What a fab outlook. I have had some dylusions Inks in the post this morning and can't wait to try them, but I love the texture youve got from the paste. Might try it with the inks I've got.
    Have a great week
