As always Gwen, your color palette is beautiful! I just love the new IO tea stamps and of course the Stencil Girl stencils together.

Really liked the gold on the base of the journal. That set the perfect place for the rest of the very rich layers. Colors of the peacock are excellent. All the work and framing you did are well worth of efforts for the final ohhhhz and ahhhhz. The sand and pebbles stuff, I love.
