Dreamscape Journal page

This did NOT turn out as I intended... 

My journal page for our Country View Challenge, on the theme "Not a card",  was to be Vintage, soft colours, shabby chic... Somehow we ended up with this bright, colourful and fantasy scene. Go figure...

I started with a Gelatos background on Gesso'ed pages:


I then removed colour through stencils, above Fibres from Visible Image and Tim Holtz mini layering stencil set #43  below


Then I used the star stencil from the same TH set and the Strobes stencil by Visible Image to finish the background.

By now I was well on the way to a landscape, with strange colours, yes, but I could see river(s), sun and stars... I retrieved some stamps and set out to further that impression.

I stamped a forest with Lavinia's Tree scene set and some Dandelions.

The Moon and Mia the pushy fairy... I think she pushed the stars in a maelstrom...

And finally Mini Mushrooms, the Large Path and some foliage (Berry Leaves):


And to reward you if you have read so far... the finished page:


I do hope you like my page and will be inspired to enter the Country View Challenge. If you do, you might win a £20 voucher for the Country View Craft shop. And that ain't bad, is it!


Thanks for coming by,
I am entering the Allsorts challenge.

    This is really lovely Crafty! It's great that things don't always turn out as planned isn't it, and I love how you've removed the colour through the stencil, so effective! Take care and have a very happy day, Sue xx

    Might not be as intended Christine but I think it turned out beautifully.

    What a dreamy, magical scene, Christine! Couldn´t have turned out better, if you would have planned it. I like it very much!
