Hi everyone. This is my last post for Yvonne's awesome challenge at Art Journal Journey. The challenge is Colour My World.
I can't believe the month is September is almost over. It flew. I must say we've had a lot of hot and humid weather this month, and humidity is not a favorite of mine, so I am glad we are suppose to get some cooler weather today.
But I'll be complaining about the cold soon I am sure. Ha-ha!
The end of September means we are already 1/8 of the way through the school year. Holy cow!
I am also going to link this page up to Try It On Tuesday. Their new challenge is clocks or time.
So my page is made on a piece of cardboard. I covered it with this red napkin I had. Then I added some leaves which I stenciled with molding paste. Once dry I painted them with some copper paint.
I also added a bit of gesso to the red napkin to give it a bit more depth, and that allowed me to added the stamped quote. I lightened it up here so you can read it better.
Finally I added the bits of the die cut clocks and the dapper man and his dog!
That's all for me today. I'm off to work!!

This is a gorgeous piece, love the string, warm colours, just perfect. Thanks, too, for linking to TIOT, much appreciated. Time really flies, school has just started and it's already 1/8th over! So, back to reading here! Hugs, Valerie
Yes - time flies - you are so right! Hope you get the weather you long for Erika!
I am in awe of this great Mixed Media page - stunning that you got such a good impression of the quote stamp on the napkin. Clever done! You make me happy with yet another fantastic page linked to Art Journal Journey and we are happy to see you again at Try It On Tusday again.
Yes my muse is back again, but now I have not enough time to play with her.... "complaining on a high comfort level" from me today----grin!

What a great take on our theme! Love the background, the colour combo and the images. Thanks for sharing it with us at TioT this time. Hugs!
This is lovely, Erika. It certain speaks red to me. I really like your use of the clocks and the TH doll you chose. It's a real winner. I'm off, too. Out the door to go to a museum today.
There are beautiful shades of deep reds in this fabulous page. I loved the words you added and the found relative looks a handsome chap.

Lovely steampunk style art spread! I always love a good vintage page. The red and golds are lovely together :)
Soon everything will be red, now that we've had the cold snap. Fun page. Enjoy your weekend. xox
Your steampunk page is wonderful! I love the richness of the colours and all the texture you have created 😁. The dapper man, his dog and quote are perfect. I'm wondering where has this month gone too, it's flown by! Wishing you a Happy Friday and Weekend! J 😊
p.s. sorry I haven't been around for a while, we've been out and about this week with the nice weather we've been having. Now all I need to do is play catch up on everyone's posts ...lol 😉. J
Wow - that rich red is so opulent, perfect for the dapper gentleman in his smart coat. Great recurring clock images - this is really cool.
