Hi everyone, it's already time for our second challenge of the year at Try It On Tuesday. We are being asked to 'Add Some Text' to whatever we choose to make.
The Design Team have added text in such fabulous ways - please take a look here.
I have made a journal page.
For various reasons it has been a long time since I had a 'proper' play with inks, paint and sprays. It was also great to use one of my favourite stamp sets by Lynne Perrella (Paper Artsy).I used a TH stencil which I used first with Distress Spray then with gold paint.
I stamped some random text over the page then added the lady with the birds - she is so lucky, not just to have the bird on her head but one has flown straight into her arms!
I stamped the quote which has three different kinds of text too.
Finally I just had to spatter some gold and black paint over the page.
I have made the page on a piece of old calendar and I drew a circle around the date I started to make the page.
I hope you can join us this time at TIOT, the Rules are here if you ned to take a look!
I am also entering my page at Art Journal Journey - Erika has chosen 'It's On the Calendar' as the theme for January.
Thanks for looking, Chris
Such a beautiful page! It sounds like you had fun creating this with those paints and ink, the colours and stencilling look gorgeous with that stamp and text - love it 😊. Happy wishes! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful page Chris. Even better with the text, and of course the calendar too. I love how you found a calendar page to use as your background. Thanks for much for linking up to AJJ. I appreciate it. I hope all is well. hugs-Erika

Love this page Chris and I really like that TH stencil too, what a great idea to use the calendar page as a base (I've just been and rescued last years from the recycling Thanks !)

The stencil is fabulous which you have used, works so well on that journal page. Great LP image and the quote is fab - love the mix of script and print.

This really is a beautiful page Chris, loving your choice of colour, gold and black always give a touch of elegance. Love that stamp too, I have that set amongst many unloved stamps.. maybe time to try and find it. Thank you for the inspiration.
