BLUE MOOD

NOW TRADED
Trying to get back into the creative zone I plumped for the TMTA theme which is turquoise this week - currently my favourite colour (and oddly I used to hate it in my 20s).

I made the background using Adirondack Colour Washes and Distress Ink - I do enjoy splodging about with this and make a whole A4 sheet at a time, but the sprays work better if you work inside a box. For the first time I used the wonderful Tim Holtz flourish stamp which I bought on my travels.

The image is from Lunagirl (I think) and couldn't quite decide whether she was miserable or sulky, or possibly both! Either way she doesn't look happy does she. My jet lagged brain wouldn't supply a story line, so I just used the colours I love - green, turquoise and gold - and doodled the edge. A couple of gilt charms seemed to complete the creation, and although I wanted to add a word or title I just couldn't come up with one!
