After lunch I went into my craft room! We were having another grey day although it did get a little brighter at times!
I was using my bright Brushos for another project that I will show you another day.
What if?….I thought…and I was away on a colourful adventure!
I added one colour to my page, spritzed it, dried and dabbed it and then continued through a rainbow of colours in the same way until I ended up with this.
I didn't fussy cut the legs - they were stamped in place and the bodies placed on top.
I drew in some ground and added the sentiments from the same set.
Finally I doodled around the edge of the page.
I am entering at
Art Journal Journey - where Erika has her New Year, New Adventure theme.
Simon Says Stamp Monday - Birds Of A Feather
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Add a Sentiment
Stamps and Stencils - On the Bright Side
Craft Stamper Take It make It Challenge - Anything Goes
We are preparing for a short adventure of our own so the next post will be a scheduled one.
I will visit when I can!
Thanks for looking, Chris

ReplyDeleteLove your colourful page..... Thr black and white images look great over the brushos! Glad you feeling better! Xx
ReplyDeleteIt's sad you couldn't join hubby or coffee and scones, which I know means you have been really ill. I'm glad you are feeling a bit better, though.
ReplyDeleteThose Brushos make the perfect background and they are SO colorful and bright. They will brighten any day.
Clever YOU to stamp the legs, then fit the images over the top. That is something I would never have thought of. I adore this latest entry you shared with us for Art Journal Journey. Thanks for that, dear friend!
Glad you are feeling better today and sorry you missed your scone yesterday. You journal page is fantastic and bright as a rainbow. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteGlad you're feeling better. I love the rainbow of colors!! The sentiment--the birds--it all came together perfectly. :)
ReplyDeleteI love those pops of color Chris. They make a super background. And adding the black and white birds really works well on the colored background. I don't usually think to do that. :) And I like the quote too. Hope you had a great weekend and a good new week. Thanks for joining us at AJJ. Hugs-Erika

I ADORE everything about this! I love how the color is in the background instead of the forefront and how the birds really pop in their blacks and whites. This is elegant and inspiring and wonderfully whimsical all at once. I thoroughly enjoyed your post and seeing this beauty of a finished product! Thanks for sharing your skills with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful colourful page Chris!
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling much better now.
