Wow! That two weeks went by quickly, I'm here with Try It On Tuesday's latest theme which is 'Use Book Paper'.
The Design Team have founds lots of ways to use it, please do take a look here.
Some were coloured by dragging them through some spritzed Distress Ink on my mat.
I use some die cuts, some plant pics and birds from some old books, standing the birds on a couple of pieces of inky scrap paper.I also added another scrap and part of an old stamp that I found in my little bag of scraps. Finally I found some words to sum up how I felt as I imagined walking in a quiet wood while making this page.
I am also going to join in at Art Journal Journey where Neet's fabulous 'Type' theme finishes today.
Thanks for looking, Chris

This page is a great piece to end our AJJ challenge and to start the new TIOT challenge Chris. Loving those birds. Hope you are having a wonderful last day of the month. Hugs-Erika
Your use of soft colors along with all the elements makes for a very calm and pleasing page. Thanks for the tip on baby wipes and gesso. Will have to give that one a go.
Fabulous journal page, Chris, love the birds! Hugs, Valerie

Hi Chris, thanks for ending my month with AJJ with this great page of yours. I love how you have used the script from books and maps and coloured them with Distress Inks and then stamped those seed heads randomly across the page. Those seed heads are one of my favourite stamps. So delicate blowing silently in the wind.
The diecuts and the birds sit so well on your page and really do make this a 'happy place silent for a moment'.
Thanks for another lovely entry for my theme at AJJ, I have so enjoyed all that you have done over the month.
Hugs, Neet xx
What a special ending to Neet's theme at Art Journal Journey. That background is amazing. The subtle colors, the various book pages, and the wonderful fonts you chose, including handwritten text. I love the birds, the die cuts, and the plants. What a genuinely awesome entry you created and also shared it with us at AJJ using Neet's impressive theme.
A beautiful page Chris, love the background and words you used, it really does feel like a walk in the countryside with the birds singing.

Beautiful layered page Chris, those vintage bird images work in harmony with your choice of words. It all sits so lovely against those torn book pages.
