Sunshine on my shoulders....

Sunshine on my shoulders...., a photo by HikerCynthia on Flickr.

I *totally* meant to take a picture before I journaled all over this page, but I uh...forgot. ;-)

It's nothing too private. I was describing everything I saw, smelled, felt, heard while I was sitting outside on Sunday.

I did the whole page with watercolor crayons and my brand new waterbrush. Man, what did I do before I got that??? :-)

I punched a circle from a piece of manilla folder and used that as a stencil for the orange circles. I outlined them in black and then just did little circles of yellow around the orange ones. I roughly painted the background with blue watercolor crayons.

After I started journaling inside the big orange circles, I felt like the little yellow circles (petals?) needed something so I used my Bic pen to outline them. I think that makes them stand out a little more. (That was after I took the picture.)

I also noticed, once again, that I really, really need to keep practicing my handwriting with watercolors and paint. *shakes head in embarrassment*


Thanks for stopping by today--I really appreciate your visits!!
