week 11:Image: kite. Word: soar. Prompt: write about where you would go and what you would do if you were lifted into the sky and carried away. Technique: include fabric on your page. Quote:  One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar. Helen Keller.

This one was done before Tuesday so a more upbeat spread!

I've used a ready made background, stamped 3 kites & a girl with a kite + the word SOAR . I them stamped the kites & girl separately, coloured them / cut out & glued to my page then added the handwritten quote.
