Bits and Pieces

Hi everyone, I have few bits and pieces to show you.

Time hasn't been on my side for while so there are one or two things to show.

First a journal page for Mia's theme  of 'Butterflies at Art Journal Journey.

I used a reverse stencil print for the background along with some added inking, then used one of my favourite butterfly stamps by Crafty Individuals along with some postmark stamps and extra text.
The other butterflies are a combination of some from my butterfly box!
I wrote the word 'Fly'.

Next I have tag for Tag Tuesday - 'Tag on a Tag' is Wendy's choice of theme.
I used an old tag as a base and added gold paint. The tag on top is an old clothing label to which I also added gold and graphite paint. The leaves are a Wendy Vecchi stamp, fussy cut.
A sentiment was added but doesn't show up so well on the photo - it says 'Life Is Good' I added some black spatters to finish it.

Finally, for Stamping Sensations 'I Love' theme, as I was playing with the Wendy Vecchi leaf stamp, I stamped a few leaves out to use up some scraps on my desk - I cut up a larger scrap of music paper top to mount them - they will probably end up in one or two of my junk journals.

I love making these scrappy pieces and find them addictive to make so I will show you more another day.

Thanks for looking, Chris

    WOW, such a pretty and delicate butterfly journal page. I love it done with the soft colors.
    The tag is terrific. Isn’t that a great leaves stamp for fussy cutting.
    Those fussy cut leaves on the scrap bits are wonderful. They will add some great detail to any art journal page or junk journal page.

    Your butterfly page is so pretty Chris. And nice tag. That Wendy Vecchi stamp is fun, and I love all your little bits. They are fun to make, aren't they, and inspiring to see too. Happy new week. Hugs-Erika

    A lovely post Chris, I always enjoy seeing anything with trees and leaves and some lovely textural ones here, but the soft colours of your first piece and almost ethereal feel are a delight.

    Thanks so much for sharing and joining our June challenge at Stamping Sensations.

    You have the most beautiful and gorgeous stamps I've ever seen and that butterfly is one of them. Your coloring is wonderful, too. It's a perfect entry for Mia's theme at Art Journal Journey.

    Wow, that tag is awesome. Who knew that was an old clothing tag. You changed it beautifully. I also like those little tidbits you created and I'm sure you will use them in the near future, too.

    I went to my post office today looking for the hamster stamp. Apparently, the Pets series was very popular and it sold out very soon in 2016. I tried, but it looks like the one on my envelope is the only one you will get (bummer)!

    What lovely gentle colours you chose for your butterfly journal page - it looks so calming. I thought the image was one stamp and not a combination of several - you have done a fabulous job of incorporating them. Also the word you wrote yourself - great!
    Hugs, Neet xx
