Dreams of Kew Part 2

I was showing my son some of my Kew Garden photos when he asked where there lots of birds around - I had a think and only recall seeing a robin right near the start of our walk, peacocks, geese and parakeets...Oh! and the big birds flying over to Heathrow. 
My journal page was made yesterday after walk around Styall Mill gardens where there were birds singing all around even though we were close to Manchester Airport.

I started this page with a bit of blue ink through a stencil then stamped Crafty Individuals leaves randomly over the page with different coloured inks and added a Crafty Individuals branch

I added another CI bird that I stamped onto some Ciao Bella 'Collateral rust' paper that I stuck over a piece of gelli print (torn in half to extend it.)

CI words were stamped onto some paper scraps and this is where I left it when the it went too dark to work without artificial light.

I had a restless night so at 3 o'clock I got up and added some spatters (no specs on!)and went back to bed and slept well!

This morning I added fibres and some leaves, the same ones I used for the background.
I decided some leaves would be good added to the frame so I stamped some onto another piece of gelli print and to give them some sheen I spread some gloss gel onto my plate and dipped them in.

I could probably have done this on my mat but there a bit of bounce with the plate
I used some glitter pens and Perfect Pearls to add some more Autumn shine to my page.

I often can't decide whether my favourite season is Spring or Autumn - today it is Autumn!!

This page is for Art Journal Journey - Dreams or Wishes - I have loved Eileen's theme but once again I had so little time for crafting!
I would also like to enter at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Art Journaling
More Mixed Media Challenge - Anything goes with  optional Orange
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Anything Goes

Also a reminder that Try It On Tuesday has a new topic - Colours of Autumn


Now, these dreams of Kew...Part 2 is coming up in my next post...

Thanks for looking, Chris
