A Garden is Heaven on earth - journal page

I've been noodling around, painting in my journal (I MADE time for once - I was desperately in need of some hands-on art time to clear the cobwebs...) and this is the result.

Closeup showing the lace, the ric-rac braid, punched paper border - and lots of paint.

Closeup showing paper flowers with glitter, my handpainted flowers all over the place.  I drew back into the piece with a black brush pen to give a strong outline, then overpainted the black lines with clear water to smudge it all, to add shadow.

Hope you like it! I finished the lettering (painting the chipboard etc) Sunday night with half an eye on the TV. And before you ask, yes, the lace is real.
