Playtime!

I am at last getting some time to relax..okay, there's still a lot I need to do but I have at least slowed down...a bit! 

I had some fun in my journal, lots of layers of paint and ink, using my fingers and brayer as well as stencils(some used as stamps), lids, stamping and spattering! Oh yes, it was fun!

I stamped a Dina Wakley bird onto a book page I had sprayed with ink, and then stamped the bird again onto my page before sticking down the fussy cut body. The quote comes from the same set and was also stamped onto the edge of the page and torn around. I outlined some of the gold stencilling that wasn't showing up vey well.

I am entering at..
Art Journal Journey and Gill's theme - 'Anything with Eyes'
More Mixed Media - Anything Goes - with optional bright
Paint Party Friday 

I also made a tag. I had some paint on the stencil I used on my page so I spritzed it and used it as a stamp onto the tag. The stamps are by Inkadinkado that I have had for ages (so neglected that they were almost put on the charity pile)The seahorse was stamped onto a scrap of gelli print.I finished the tag off with some ink around the edge and some spatters.
I'm joining in the Summer Fun at Tag Tuesday!

We also had a little outing yesterday - not far away, to Little Moreton Hall - we had a very interesting guided tour.

 We had some sunshine too as we walked by the moat!

I'll show you more another day...you will see I was quite inspired by what I saw!
