Delicate with Bold

 Hi everyone. Happy once again middle of the week.

     Today I have a journal page with a bit of a poem  (or at least I think it's part of a poem).  I'm not all that familiar with Goethe, but I believe he was good at many things, including being a poet. I was also going for a bit of contrast, which I think works on this page. I hope you agree.

     I started with some orange and red paint along with an alphabet stencil. After covering my page and letting the paint dry, I grabbed this cardboard backing piece from a package of white frames I had bought. It was way too pretty just to throw away, and I like how the delicate looked against the bold background.

     I stamped the quote on it and die cut some white flowers with stems. I also stamped the postmarks near those flowers. Finally, I used a left over scrap of die cut trim at the top of the page. It looked a little empty by itself, so I added some little confetti pieces, which  now that it's glued down, I am really not sure it was needed (or that I even like).

     I also have a tag to share today for Michele's challenge at  Tag Tuesday. Michele's theme is Cats. 

I used a smaller tag and die cut a larger cat. I did some inking and stamping to make this piece. I hope you like it.

That's all for me today. I hope your week is going well.
