What do I love?

I love warm days, not hot days....certainly not days when it feels as though there are three suns in the sky! 

I started by spritzing my page and adding water colours in reds, oranges and yellows, then spritzing and allowing the paint to run. 
I added some scraps of tissue that had some text on and some other bits and pieces and I found the piece of watercoloured paper that gave  me the idea of three suns. I was thinking of Erika's 'When It's Hot' theme at Art Journal Journey. I added a few bits and pieces and stamped the palm trees and the cacti and coloured them in...what next? There was too much red so I added some yellow distress oxide ink and spritzed along with some gelatos, addded some spattering with orange and red DIs. Finally I added some bright stickles to the 'suns'  
I really just enjoyed 'faffing around' with ink, paint, doodling, stamps etc. to make my journal page. 

I am entering at :-

Country View challenges - Do What makes you Happy - I really enjoyed  just 'faffing' with my journal page, no rush, no deadline, just playing!

Penny Black and More - In the Garden - my ideal garden is an English country garden but if I had to live somewhere tropical I would have to have plants in bright pots and some palm trees for shade

More Mixed Media Challenge - Anything Goes with optional Pastels - there are actually some accidental pastels here in my background. 

I posted last night but then went back to my tablet where I had started to write this post and it deleted everything-including everything I had added on the computer and the post???? 
Sorry for the confusion!! 

Thanks for looking, Chris
