I've made a journal page using a torn napkin, that came in some happy mail from my friend and blog DT Yvonne. I've used a home made trellis stencil and then a brick one to create the background. Next came a script stencil and to fill in the bottom some stencilled leaves. I stamped a 'vase' from a Paperbabe stamp set that I won from Tracey a short while ago, I fussy cut this for my die cut lavender. There's nothing nicer than the smell of lavender in the garden on a summer's day, so of course I had to use this sentiment from a Jofy set.
The rest of the DT have some great inspiration for you, so please pop over to the main blog for all the details.
I am entering this at Paperbabe challenge - Anything Goes

What a beautiful display of one of my favourite flowers Avril. So inventive using the bottle stamp as a vase to display their beauty.

I am in awe of this amazing journal page. Both vintage and romantic, it takes me back to my childhood where lavender bushes surrounded my home. Not only do I love the beautiful colors and sweet sentiment, I love how your lovely page conjured up the sensory fun I had when I smelled lavender.
