Believe in yourself

This is my creation for Week 4 of Lulu Art's Colour Me Positive art journalling challenge.

First, the prompt:


The background colour and texture was inspired by the mood board at Berry 71 Bleu this month:


I started with a collage background:


I covered it with gesso, then with acrylic paint.  I didn't like how 'solid' it looked, so I gave it another coat of gesso, then sprayed with dye ink... then decorated.   To finish up, I added a light spray of gold... and I was finally happy with it. This is how it finished up:
