FInally, the month of July, and I haven't even started August....

Hi my lovelies, how have you been? I must sound like Alice in Wonderland's rabbit; I'm late, I'm late!
So, here's my July page, and goodness me, August is more than halfway gone and I haven't even started on it yet! Anhyhow, this was another happy accident page, but more about that later.
I started out with my background using Lemon Zest, Fresh Lime and Dried Martini.

I used a brick wall stencil and Dried Martini in the background. When I was on holiday in France I bought a lovely clear stamp set for the 'huge' amount of € 2,50, and this lovely fairy was part of it together with lovely swirls. Boy that's a lot of  'lovelies' LOL!

To make the little squares for the days, I gessoed a piece of paper, and then sprayed Dylusions Campo teal, London blue and a little bit of Lemon Zest on. Then came my accident, because I bought a roll of kitchen paper in France and it had this embossed pattern on it. I've used that type of paper before for blotting the Dylusion ink, but the pattern always disappeared after drying. Not the case here!! The pattern remained and looked stunning! Have a look.....

Now I found some pictures in a magazine, that are really nostalgic here in the Netherlands. You used to get them free, with a certain brand of biscuits in the sixties. I fussy cut them and glued them on the page with mat gel medium.

I stamped the letters with an alphabet I've had for ages by Autumn Leaves called Freestyle Alphabet.

I really hope you like my page. Now let's see if I can find some challenges. Obviously I am too late to enter Kate's challenge with my July page.
