I'm finished. I decided the pastel colors weren't working so I went with lime green. I added a little bunny because last night I watched two bunnies hopping through the yard, playing as if they didn't have a care in the world. Since my little rag doll girl doesn't have a care in the world, I felt it fitting she be playing with her bunny.
Here is what I'm currently working on. I used Golden Crackle Paste and got the most fabulous crackle texture ever. It's funny, sometimes it cracks just like you want and sometimes it has a mind of its own. I find it's just hit or miss. My little ragdoll girl will be swinging and playing with some sort of little creature, a teddy bear, a monkey doll, I haven't yet decided. I was trying to work with a high contrast between the vivid background and the pastel colors of the focal image. I'm not sure yet how I'm liking it, but since I'm just experimenting, I am going to follow it through. 
Another journal page practicing using grey. I usually create in loud, vivid colors, reds and oranges so I'm trying to step out of my comfort zone and use grey. Of course I did have to add just a touch of red at the end.
Today was a peaceful day. The sun was shining, I accomplished everything I set out to do and birdies everywhere were swimming in birdbaths, lakes and ponds.
