JOURNAL JOTTING

I decided to play with some more SCRIBBLES, since I had got the folder open and came across a sweet BunnyChick and some bunnies and got this very silly idea....................

I covered my journal page is some teeny Easter egg paper and edged it with lime green ink. Then I used some stamps by La Blanche at the corners and bottom edge, using dark green ink. The stamps are NBUS that were sent to me by a crafting friend and I really like these :-)

The images are all by SCRIBBLES DESIGNS :

Hoppy 4

Hoppy 5

Joppy 6

Long Leg Easter Chicklet

All the images were coloured with Spectrum Noir markers.

Sorry I made a bit of a hash trying to mask off the right-hand page :-(

Thanks for popping in. I am off to feed cats/dog etc now :-) xxx

SOME ART JOURNALLING

Good morning Arty Peeps,
Well - it's still raining here although not so windy, so this morning I decided to have a little play with my Art Journal.
I have gone for an all green theme to fit in with some Challenges I saw.

I used an old book page and then placed it on a textured background I had started making (not got any further yet LoL) and rubbed over it with pencils like a brass rubbing.  I wanted to blend it a bit so used some baby oil but I made a big boo boo and a terrible blobby mess occurred at the top 1/3 of my page. !! To cover it, I used an ink pad to stamp onto some kitchen paper, then tore the squares out and stuck them on the page.

My main image is " SUCCUBUS 5 " - one of my images at IKEsART. I coloured her with Promarkers and then used one of my new stitched rectangle dies to cut her out.
I used an alphabet die to cut out the word Envy and then used the left-over card bit as a stencil to put extra letters around the page.
The words were printed out and cut up.

' A heart at peace gives life to the body, but Envy rots the bones '      
Proverbs 14:30

MY POEM ABOUT CATS ART JOURNAL PAGE

Hello Chums,

I was sitting with my coffee yesterday and watching some of my Cats when a little poem starting flitting about in my head - so I wrote it down and made a double spread in my Art Journal.

Here's each page so maybe you can read it better :-)

 I used assorted images from MEINLILAPARK, BECCY's PLACE, SLS LINES, CREATIVE BUSY BEE and Free Kitty download.

AND.......................

Here is a piece which sort of represents my household using a lovely digi from KNITTY KITTY.

These pieces were done for WEEK 4 of the current SHOW US YOUR PUSSIES CATS CHALLENGE #4.

ANOTHER ART JOURNAL TRIP

Good morning and happy Sunday,
The weather here on my little island is lovely - all the trees are opening their buds and the birds are tweetling :-) When I was walking the dog on Friday, the birds were so lovely that I was inspired to do another Art Journal page to celebrate them :-)
I saw a great video a couple of weeks ago, where you lay colour down, draw your design and then overpaint the rest of the page. Well - I tried that and I must admit I was not successful. It looked like shiiiite but I persevered with it and finally ended up with this...................

I couldn't find that video again, so was bumbling in the dark but it's sort of a cool page :-)

I used inks for the background.  I stamped the birds, flowers and hearts on it and then I used a text stamp whilst masking out my birds. I used Gesso to overpaint it - maybe it should have been white paint ?.

The poem extracts were printed on paper and glued on and I highlighted some bits with a white nail art pen.

I used:

My old diary from 2015 sticking 3 pages together :-)

Aspects of Design #3  - Botanical rubber stamp set by The Stamp Man (No longer available)

Woodware 'Love Birds' clear stamp set

" Birds of Spring"  extracts  of the poem by Watie W Swanzy
