The background and torn paper strips are gelli prints. The image is coloured with copics and fussy cut. The clouds are from the set from the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/VeraLaneStudio/items?section_id=18339180">Floral Park Collection</a> called Maison. The words are from a set called <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/502753952/lost-in-space-quirky-flying-saucer-and?ref=shop_home_active_18">Lost in Space</a>. I cut these two out of a longer sentiment.<br />
<br />
I have some sparkly elements with liquid pearls, diamond glaze and wink of stella pen. </div>

Today I'd like to share a page in my art journal. I love this serene gal holding that loveable dove from<a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/VeraLaneStudio/items"> Vera Lane Studio</a> :</div>

She's coloured with copics and fussy cut. The tree is from a set called <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/489268312/woodlands-props-10-digi-stamps?ref=shop_home_active_24">Woodland Props</a>. The ground is a scrap from my every growing pile that I just cant part with LOL.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my favourite things about working with digital stamps is the flexibility to resize, change the aspect ratios, layer and reserve images etc. There are lots of videos on you tube how to do this, and Vera Lane Studio have many of their own. Check it out.</div>

The gal is resized and manipulated in work. I coloured her with copics and sharpie white acrylic paint pen highlights. She was fussy cut. The background is acrylic paint. I used washi tape to simulate the dance floor, and edged my card in that too. The words are also from the set.</div>

This is quite a personal piece I made in my art journal, featuring an image from the set<a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/468933219/rain-or-shine-quirky-and-whimsical-digi?ref=shop_home_active_43"> Rain or Shine</a> by <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/VeraLaneStudio">Vera Lane Studio</a>.</div>

Without going into too much detail, its about being unseen standing in the rain, weathering the storm ...but being on the periphery of something great. Change is scary, but change is inevitable. By not making change we stay stagnated in a less than ideal situation. Sometimes you just gotta take that first step out of the rain and into the sunshine ..... wish me luck ...</div>

The background is acrylic paints and a stencil. The blue strip across the middle is the skyline.</div>

The image is coloured with copics and fussy cut. The words are made from a wheel by Stampin Up, and I doodled and added heart rain drops. </div>
