Calm!

Hi everyone, I have another journal page to show you! One of my favourite things to do is image transfers - the one I have used here I have had for ages - just waiting for it's moment!!
This is yet another mop up - use up page! I added some stencilling and spattering. The bird is from a freebie set I think. There are left over bits and pieces including a scraps of corrugated card,  water colour paper, blue napkin, dressing from my recent hospital visit, mop up kitchen towel, and a stamped and cut leaf all from the same little box. I stamped the quote onto a piece of old dress pattern paper. 

I hope it makes you feel calm, as making this page made me feel  very relaxed!

It is of course my latest entry to Art Journal Journey. 

It is also a  reminder that Try It On Tuesday has the theme Nature that closes on Monday - so you still have time to join in! There is some great inspiration on the blog, including that of my very good friend Elizabeth, who is our Guest Designer this time.

Thanks for looking, Chris

The blues certainly have a calming effect and I love the image transfer. It is a technique that I have still not tried... must have a go soon! Wonderful inspiration Chris. Hugs, Anne xx

OMGosh. Not only is this a great AJJ and TioT piece, it is a perfect example of recycled art. Your use of recycled and repurposed materials make this simply perfect for both entries. And I was also impressed with the transfer. Lots of people have trouble with those, but yours is PERFECT.

Thanks, too, for the kind words and shout out.
