It was wonderful to see so many different ways of incorporating text into your projects.

 It was tough to narrow the entrants down, but here are my Top 3:

#35 Helen Liu

I love the graduating colour change in the background and the use of the layering. The stencilled leaves add subtle detail allowing the purple flower to stand out.

#63 Kate Yetter

A beautiful journal spread with a wealth of colour and texture. The use of threads and fabric add interest and the way that the figure's face is framed really draws the eye in.

#111 Paper Wishes By Amanda

I love the timeworn feel of this piece and the rich colour combination. The stencilled and textured background adds depth and interest, recreating a rusted patina finish perfectly.

Special Mention goes to:

#109 Sara's Closet

The attention to detail in this travel journal is incredible. There is so much to see, little tags and pockets, and vintage ephemera. Such a labour of love and a pleasure to see.

A Summer Garden Birthday Card

Good morning and happy Monday. It's Sue here with my second Summer Garden piece. I've gone with two of my favourite things, PaperArtsy stamps and paints, but just to prove the 'pleasure/pain' theory, there's also fussy cutting.
