The new Challenge at Art Journal Journey has been chosen by Yvonne of 'Meggy's Way' blog and just happens to be 'Out and About'! Not only that - Stamps and Stencils are singing 'Chirpy, Chirpy, Cheep Cheep' although my birds would have a job singing that I think.
I added some Distress ink over the top to darken the sky.
I stamped some grasses - Inkylicious and then stamped and cut out two geese (Stamping Up) I stamped another goose to make a mask so that I could stamp the grasses around the feet. Now, I hope you can see them, I used Watering can archival ink to stamp three more geese before sticking the others on! Why? Well we often drive past a field close to Leighton Moss that always has loads of geese in and while I wanted the pair of geese in I also wanted to give an impression of the other geese around!
Hoping to see them today!
Thanks for looking, Chris

I love this, everything works together perfectly. I love the background that you've created and the geese look fabulous. Wetlands is one of my favourite sets by StampinUp and you've done a great job here. Happy crafting, Sandra x
Fantastic page, love how you did the geese. There were really hundreds of them down at the Rhine this morning. Have a nice weekend, hugs, Valerie
LOVE this page, those geese are beautiful (thought you'd drawn them for a minute!)
Thank you for a delightful journal page which is steeped in the coming spring. Hugs
A stunning art page and it would make a wonderful card or set of notelets

Love Chrissie xx
You really did create a beautiful scene Chris, I love the colours in the background and those grasses are wonderful. A great way to show a whole gaggle of geese! Hugs, Anne xx
Wonderful scene, the background is amazing! I've heard great things about Leighton Moss but never visited myself, hope you got to see the geese again today! Have a lovely weekend! J :-)
Wonderful artwork Chris. Leighton Moss is not far from our caravan so I must check it out this year. We love seeing the large variety of birds on the lake in the
Park at Grange over sands

I swear this is incredibly realistic, Chris. I am in awe of the geese and the background you created for them to walk in. You did GOOD!
Beautiful artwork, the infusions have produced a wonderful scenic background and the grass stamping and geese...wow! Great page Chris! Ruth xx
This is the perfect page for this theme! When I first saw it I thought you had sketched it. Do like those Infusions and the backgrounds they create.
This really caught my eye Chris. Absolutely fabulous and the birds in the foreground are gorgeous - must investigate.

Terrific page. Your colour palette is perfect for the outdoors. Love your geese but we have sooooo many here because they are Canada Geese after all, that you are welcome to those two. Just watch where you are walking. :) Thanks for joining us at Stamps and Stencils.
Hugs!

Your goosey goosey gander page turned out brilliantly Chris.
Forgive me it is getting late here in Virginia and I am a bit slap happy ;-)
Being Out and About is one of my favorite things too always!
