Having Fun!

A quick post today - we are off to our caravan for a few days!

 I have seen quite a few posts where stencils have been used and then drawn into so I decided to have a go!
I used a flower stencil I have had for ages over a watery stamped and stencilled background.I used a fine line pen for outlining and added some butterflies - you can probably guess that the botton right corner didn't stamp very well so I picked a piece of coloured bookpaper and stamped the butterfly again - I think there maybe a fault in the stamp as it still hasn't stamped so well!

 It was still fun and I am joining in again at Art Journal Journey and Wendy's 'Having Fun' challenge
I am also joining in at Moo Mania and More with the Spring Fever challenge - this page was made after sitting in our friends' garden and spotting 3 different varieties of butterflies - now that was the real fun - the bird song was pretty good too!

 Hoping to get some rest and some catching up done while we are away!

 Thanks for looking, Chris

 I am guessing that by now most of you know that Elizabeth is back on her own blog - Hurray!!

    What a lovely journal page, Chris. I like the stencil experiment and it truly DOES represent spring.

    I have a couple of stamps that I swear must be defective, because no matter what I do, they don't turn out right. Mine are both red rubber on a wood mount, so it may have been an error when the rubber was being removed from the molds.

    Thanks, too, for joining us at Art Journal Journey. You used Wendy's theme so well!

    BTW, look for an e-mail soon.

    I've never had any luck with stamps, and you've managed to do better with a defective stamp than I was ever able to with perfect ones. Lovely spring page!

    Lovely page, Chris. Coloring/drawing inside stencils sounds like fun. Great save on the lower right corner. It's nicely balanced by the other book paper butterfly. Have a great weekend at the caravan. Eileen x
