April in Paris!!
There is a wonderful new theme at Art Journal Journey - 'For the Record' - inspired by a song, chosen by April's host Linda of HeArtfully Inspired
I am showing my Calendar Journal pages as …I am off to Paris soon!! I have been singing this song for ages so it just had to be on my calendar!
I started by using my Inktense pencils and scribbling on the page and then blending in with a water brush
 |
| Can't seem to turn this! |
The rest was some random music stamping and stencilling and a combination of stamped (using distress inks and then water brushed to colour) and punched flowers. The Eiffel Tower was die cut using some music paper and I used the waste to stencil through to give a shadow before adding the shape(hoping for some sun!)
I wrote the title using Inktense and my water brush again.
Here is my page from last month all filled in if you are wanting to see what I was up to!!
I am always singing or humming (not very tunefully!) so I am hoping to have more pages soon!
Thanks for looking, Chris
