I really expected the time to drag but I have been surprised how quickly the time is passing at the moment!
There's been very little time spent in my craft room, even though new stamps arrived this week.
We've have been busy sorting out(very)old paperwork - some that should probably not have come with us 8 years ago!
I have also been enjoying cooking some new recipes! We miss eating out so have been trying new flavours and combinations and we often cook together too! There are of course tried and tested favourites some of which we take turns to cook!
Along with that there have been two birthdays this week and it was good to do some face to face calls too!
I started this journal page last weekend, but as I knew my new stamps were due I waited to finish it.
I used Aall and create stencils and stamps for the background and settled on pink, green and black...I realised I had been a bit heavy on the blues lately!
I had been waiting for Tracy Evans new big flower set - it's big - each image being A5 size.
I stamped it on my page and again on white paper to fussy cut.
I added punched circles and some white spatters!
I am entering at:-
Art Journal Journey - Valerie's theme is 'Geometric Shapes'

What a gorgeous page with Tracy's new daisies... The b&w flower against the shadowy background is really eye-catching. Looking forward to seeing the bottle vases in action too!
ReplyDeleteI agree about time flying... and like you, I've been enjoying being creative in the kitchen, as well as being thrilled with the flourishing vegetable seedlings in my tiny courtyard garden. Crafting mojo seems to come and go, but overall I'm well aware how lucky I am in quite enjoying the lockdown so far.

Beautiful Journal page Chris. I too have been addicted to Tracy's new stamps. Love them. Hugs Rita xx
ReplyDeleteLove those stamps and love what you did with the sunflower one! I have been busy doing other things, too. I thought I would be doing more creative stuff but have been sorting and cleaning and puttering instead. But that is a good thing in itself. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely page, the flower looks like you could pick it off the page.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us at Penny Black & More.
