Oh dear, the lady on the left looks a bit sulky to me and the poor wee one looks quite taken aback! Well wouldn't you if someone said to you - "I'm sorry we fought" followed by the inevitable 'but' and "I hate it when you're wrong".
First of all I decided to go for the outdoors with a pale blue sky and a green base, that is where we all long to be whilst on this lockdown. The cream paper of the journal does tend to make the pale blue look a bit greenish but I assure you I put lots of pale blue on and added the green in three different shades at the base. Next I took a leaf stencil, to further the outdoor feeling, and used the Distress Ink Applicator without any ink pad to do the leaves up the left hand side and across the top. Then because I wanted to enter this into Art Journal Journey again I added some squares across the bottom in the same shade of green (which is anything or everything if you know what I mean) to be eligible for the geometric pattern of this months challenge set by Valerie. I thought it also gave 'grounding' for the figures.
I then wanted to put some foliage on so I began rummaging in my stash of leaves and things and came up with the stems and the leaves that you can see above. Needing some more geometric shapes I drew some diamond shaped flowers with circles in the centre and some circles with flowers in the centre all acting as fantasy flowers. I didn't really need the circles as the females both have circles on their clothing.
So there we have it, a fairly clean looking page with those light pastel colours as the background - my attempt at the quote from Dyan this week. It really did not need any help from me, I think the faces said it all.
