For this page once the colours were in my head it was distress inks to paper. Over stamped with the net from Rogue Redhead and the seed heads from Eco Stamps. Then the page was run through an embossing folder with the balloons, the embossing highlighted with a swipe of an inkpad. A nestie cut mat coloured with the same background inks and then stamped with the dress makers birdhouse Eco stamp. Some of my favourite cotton lace stuck down the side and the nestie layered over it. Part of a vintage earring with a pretty green gem on it. Threaded some flower shaped buttons with green ribbon and added them at the bottom.

A lovely page Zoe, what a good idea to make a journal of picture pages, writing stuff down is not my style either which has put me off journals but I may steal your idea !
