Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Group June Challenge - Create a background

Today is the start of the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Group Monthly Challenge.

The topic for the challenge this month is "Create a background".

I decided to do another journal page.  

I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Scent of Spring" and I have coloured the image in with my Promarkers and inked around the edge with Tim Holtz's Peeled Paint distress ink.

For the actual journal pages I started off with painting the pages with my gold Starlight pen for some sparkle and shine.  I used various Pan Pastels to add some colour.  I then used various stamps to add texture and dimension.  I then added some washi tape up the side and at the bottom.  I then die-cut lots of leaves and stuck them to the pages.  I used a freebie dragonfly stamp and inked using two different coloured ink pads, cut out and added Stickles glitter glue to them for some sparkle.  I have finally added some small flowers to finish off the pages.

I am entering these journal pages into the following challenges:
