There's something about the softly blended colour tones of these journalling pages which just makes me happy - a real summertime warmth, and I love the stencilling and the little bird.

I love the soft summer haze around the masked sun, and the zing of that fabulous poppy standing out amongst the other meadow flowers.


Alison said:
These pages capture a summer garden just perfectly.  I love the use of die-cuts to create texture and the watercolouring on the flowers is absolutely luscious.
