I made a journal page which started with a Distress Oxide background using Spring colours. I stamped one of my favourite background stamps from Crafty Individuals randomly over the page too.
I stamped and coloured the grass from the flower set and added some more stalks.
My favourite March hare by Tracy Easson came bouncing along too - he was stamped onto paper(then Fussy cut) and onto the page. I coloured him with Crayola Twistables - brown and purple.
Finally I added the sentiment from JOFY54 and inked around the edge of my page with some blue remaining on my sponge! I forgot to wait until the ink dried and had to overwrite the smudged bit!!
I am joining Rosie with her Spring theme at Art Journal Journey
and
Penny Black and More for the Feature a Creature challenge this month
Apologies for my lack of visits to some of you. I am working on catching up, but our car has a problem that can't be fixed until next week and we seem to be having a run of meetings and appointments(including a recall due to a patient mix up!!)We are having to either get there by foot or catching public transport - neither of which are a problem, it just takes longer!!!
Thanks for looking
Chris
Beautiful journal page, love the stamps used. Have a fun evening, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteYour journal page is a pleasure to look at - lovely spring feeling for the eyes and soul - you have the most beautiful stamps used and created a heartwarming spring page! Wonderful! Thanks a lot for taking the time for linking to Art Journal Joureny even though you have the being without car problem just now - Can understand that it is not nice... here if I don't have a car the bus connections are horrible - just two times a day to the larger villages .... just annoying - so you can be glad that at least the public transport is good where you live.
ReplyDeleteHope you get it fixed soon !
Happy evening Chris!

I love that hare too Chris and he looks so happy in amongst all those beautiful flowers... a much needed burst of Spring! We had snow yesterday too but thank goodness it all melted. Sorry to hear about your car... hope the issues get resolved soon. Have a lovely weekend. Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful journal page, well that's done it Lol! I've ordered the hare stamp! Hope your car gets sorted soon. Have a lovely weekend, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteI was thrilled to see this wonderful art journal entry today. It's beautiful and I love the quote. Those funky flowers really remind me that spring will be here soon.
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for you and your car. If I had to rely on public transit, it wouldn't happen. We don't have a good transit system near where I live. I'd have to walk nearly a mile in order to get to the bus stop and then it probably wouldn't take me exactly where I needed to go. I hope things get fixed soon for you two.
OH crud. I forgot to thank you for sharing this journal page with us at Art Journal Journey.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful page, Chris. LOVE that hare!! He's amazing :-)
