20 - Remember that...

I was once again inspired by Solange Marques and her "fusion technique".
I used paints, gesso, modeling paste (love all the texture it gave me) and stamps to achieve the background.
As for my evidence I used stitching, white space and paint drops (the black drops are watered down acrylic paint)
My journaling is some word of advice to my daughter Valentina. Even though our kids grow up and become adults, I guess we mammas never cease to give them advice.
4 important things to remember:
Attitude is the little things that make a big difference.
If you don't enjoy what you have, how could you be happier with more?
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Of all the things you wear your expression is the most important.

Loved once again the color palette!
