Hi everyone, now that things are getting back to something like normal I decided just get some paint out and play.
I made a page for Art Journal Journey and Bleubeard and Elizabeth's theme - 'What's Your Style?'
I scraped some Paper Artsy Fresco paint onto my page. I had already got a splodge of yellow in the centre of the page and I was intending adding more colour but liked what I saw so let it be.I don't remember when I first came across Tim Holtz's products, probably at a workshop somewhere but I quickly became a fan. (So much so that I went down to Coventry when Tim came over to teach some workshops)
The stamp I use here (Theories) is not such an old one though and I combined it with some leftover paint from another project to add some stencilling using Tim's texture fades.
A little bit of spatter was also added and a Snarky word strip from a Small Talk set.
I also made a tag for Tag Tuesday where Sandie has chosen King, Queen or both as her theme.
I spread some white paint onto the tag then used some more leftover paint to stencil then stamped the Paper Artsy Lynne Perella stamp and added a stamped and fussy cut crown.Thanks for looking, Chris
Delicious eye candy. I like the colors on the first piece and the quote made me laugh
ReplyDeleteYour Tag is awesome, love the background and I love the Lynne Perella image with her fabulous crown.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for playing along with my theme at Tag Tuesday x
A gorgeous page and I love your tag too Chris!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good photo of you with Tim, I did his class at the PaperArtsy event a few years ago.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend,
Alison
The journal page is wonderful. i love the tiny bit of yellow. It gave that pop of color that was needed, Such a fun entry and beautiful stamps. Love this style. It's perfect for Bluebeard's and my theme at Ar Journal Journey, dear.
ReplyDeleteI remember when artists were making those books. Tim was responsible for a lot of blog posts that shared them.
That's a clever tag. I should get out my Perella stamp you sent me and use it on a tag. So much to do, so little time.
I've done a couple TH classes myself. There used to be a fantastic paper arts store about an hour away where he would teach, as well as others. Now the store is no more and I miss taking those types of classes. I wonder how many people he has taken photos with over the course of his career. I am loving your page today Chris. That is a cool stamped image. And your tag is super also. Those Lynne Perella images are very distinct. I hope you had a nice weekend and start to the new week. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteIts a great quote strip you used on thus super page Chris.
ReplyDeleteYou were so lucky to meet TH and go to a class, it must have been a real special day.
Stay safe in the storms we are having just now.

Morning Chris. Well I never, this brings back happy memories for me as well. In fact that was where I first met you at Tim's workshop in Coventry. Anyway, your Journal page is so beautiful and the stamps used are great. I'm just starting my first Journal,but struggling a bit bringing it all together. Hugs Rita xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tag and page, Chris. You have had a nice meeting. First time see Tim's photo. I supposed he is older!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week ahead xx
I never had any luck with stamps and admire folks who do so well with them.
ReplyDeleteLove the art and the Tim story, xoxo
