I have made a journal page using some stamped and fussy cut images of one of my favourite birds!
I now get my views of them in Morecambe - not so many but I still enjoy seeing the colourful plumage and those little crests!I am also adding this to Art Journal Journey for Gill's 'Anything with Eyes'theme
The Stamp is one of Crafty Individauals from a set called 'Quirky birds' I coloured them with some cheap glitter pens from the works
The background is a combination of splodged Distress Oxides and Brushos.
The sentiment is also by Crafty Individuals - stamped onto tissue and added with matte medium gel.
The challenge runs for two weeks-just like a fortnight away in the sun!!! Wish I was there!!!
Thanks for looking, Chris
A wonderful page
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely terrific Chris! WOW!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI like your take on the challenge and those lapwings are really fascinating. What a gorgeous page Chris. I'd like to walk along and see them near the water. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteA super journal page Chris and with a fabulous background. I have to say that it looks really peaceful x
ReplyDeleteA wonderful page Chris, its good to sit and watch the birds when on holiday, so restful and they are quite characters the way they step out.

ReplyDeleteA great seaside page Chris, the background scene is just perfect for the Lapwings.

A lovely atmospheric page Chris that really resonates with me, we have lapwings that appear every year in the field at the back of our house, we have just had planning for 70 houses refused! Lapwings are endangered species now so everyone I see is precious.

So cute! They look like entertaining little birds. :)
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a bird like this and can fully understand why you like them so. It's good you can still see them. I think we often don't appreciate the need for open green spaces in our cities -I know we don't here.
ReplyDeletegreat page, love the bird stamp you've used. another holiday?! I am sure you need one it's been so long since the last one....
ReplyDeleteBeautiful page!
ReplyDeleteYou've created a beautiful seascape for your lapwings to perch in - the Brushos are really cool for getting that nice gritty texture to the sand.

I know I'm late visiting, Chris, what else is new? I have never heard of lapwings before, but I love how you fussy cut them. You are so good at that, especially around the legs and feet. They are most unusual birds and I 'm glad you featured them at the sea. This theme resonates with me, so I'll be joining you soon, dear.
ReplyDeleteHeavens, where are my manners? It is so thoughtful of you to also share this with us at Art Journal Journey using Gill's theme.
ReplyDeleteYour birds look superb on your page, especially as you coloured them in with a glitter pen. They provide a contrast with your background. Now I need to go to Morecambe to see them in real life.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neet
ps sorry I missed seeing you the other weekend, next time maybe?
Your Lapwings look beautiful Chris! A wonderful page!

ReplyDeleteSuch a fabulous page! As soon as I saw it, it reminded me of Morecambe ...lol 😉. Those lapwings look amazing! I hope you've had a good few weeks! Happy and creative wishes! Hugs, Jo x
