The background was created using various acrylic paints and loads of Gesso, stencils and various background stamps. The main vocal stamps are mostly Tim Holtz and were stamped on to tissue paper and then adhered with gel medium over the background. I also used element of the Prima Romance Novel collection. Love that collection (I have the 6 x 6 pad). I like most Prima collections, but this one must be one of my all time favourites. The bit on the right is a pocket I created with a little envelope inside to hold little journal-ling notes. I feel more comfortable with that than journal-ling all over my page.
Here are some close up photos still.

Looks great! I like the color scheme and I love the little notes! I don't like journaling all over my pages either and this is a wonderful alternative!
I really like what you did with this...it looks awesome!!!

I remember the cover well; it's lovely to get to see what's starting inside. This is full of beauty and atmosphere - love the passionate heat of the colours, and wonderful lettering and stamping. I love the idea of private journalling hidden away (as you may remember, I've struggled with having my handwriting on pages), so thank you for that inspiration! Have a wonderful week.

Stunning project!! I am wlways so impressed by the way you use mixed media to create such beautiful projects!!!
Another priceless piece of art, so amazing... love the way you add the stamps using tissue paper (must try this). Fantastic, and so beautiful.
Beautiful indeed :)

Superschön, Astrid.
Wonderful page Astrid - your background is just gorgeous and I love the use of the Prima papers. Lots of inspiration! Thankyou!
Das ist großartig, Astrid! Die Stempel und die Gestaltung der Seite sind wirklich zu bewundern, dazu die herrlich nostalgischen Farben, ich liebe jedes Detail dieses wunderbaren Werkes!
Absolutely gorgeous art work ... love your journal page
Bliss!
Such gorgeous stamping... totally love this page.... I keep looking around and around again at each detail.
What an awesome design love that.
Another gorgeous page and I too like your method of keeping your journalling 'private'. I don't like my handwriting so would feel that I spoiled a page having it on view, lol! I love what you are doing with the wonderful journal the Bosses sent us. I just haven't been able to get into journalling at all but maybe after Christmas I might find the time to play ;D
