A Simple Page for You Today

Hi everyone. I'm back today with another inspiration page for Art Journal Journey This month the challenge is In the Air/In the Sky. And butterflies and dragonflies are wonderful things to see in the air.
I created this page with a watered down acrylic wash in orange and pink. Then I used pieces of this funky flowered napkin to finish my background. The butterflies and dragonflies are stickers I added.  Finally I stamped the quote.
This page is also some inspiration for our latest theme at Try It On Tuesday which is Things With Wings.


And it is the second of the month, so it is time for   Second on the Second  over at Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog.
I figured I would keep with the Things With Wings and In the Air/In the Sky challenge themes and share a bird page from last May.
You can check out the entire post here: Clear Headed.
I hope your month is starting off in a good way.
And I hope to see you at  these challenges soon.

    Looks like you are on a roll, Erika. Your theme has caught on quite well and it shows in this journal entry, too. I like how you used the napkin and the stickers. This is a lovely entry for your theme at Art Journal Journey.

    What a fun second look this month. I remember this and am still amazed those hawks were stamped,then brilliantly colored. Thanks for sharing this second look on the 2nd because it was a fun look back and a fond remembrance, too.

    Butterflies and birds on lush, warm backgrounds. Not today. Not next week by the sound of the forecast. Stay warm and dry today

    Excellent pages! I love the butterfly and dragonfly that seem to fly among the flowers. The second page is inspiring with the bird and the tree in the corner.

    I become more and more intrigued with backgrounds as I do more of my little ATCs. I do like the look you get here and appreciate you telling how you achieved it. Thx!

    You added a super quote on the page with the pretty butterflies. It looks beautiful the way they seem to be flying from the page.

    There's nothing simple about the Beauty of a Butterfly and when there's more than one well, it's a sheer delight. Love that inspirational quote!! Super shares Erika.
    Have a fab weekend, i'd say lets hope it's a sunny one but the Weather man is not very hopeful. Hugs Tracey x

    Two great pages Erika. The butterfly one is so warm and summery and I just love the birds on the second look. Love the greenery in the bottom corner too - just sets it all off perfectly.
    Hugs, Neet xx

    Who doesn't love butterflies and dragonflies, and I like the quote from Hans Christian Anderson too.

    That lovely greenery on your second piece adds to it so nicely.

    Two great pages.

    All the best Jan
