Mixed Media Monday "Spring Colours"


I decided to make a bookmark for this challenge. It's not easy to get into the mood of Spring in cold wet rainy Scotland. And hey, I wonder what it must be like for people in the Southern hemisphere, where it is turning autumn now. Anyway, I collaged a piece of mountboard, over painted with acrylics, then added final imge. No stamping at all this time.

    It's beautiful, Astrid! Here in the southern hemisphere - well at least in Australia - we are happy to see the end of summer - it's been a difficult one. Diane
