Hi everyone!
It's already time for a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday. The last 2 weeks just flew by, didn't they? For the next 2 weeks we are asking you to use book pages in your art.
I had some fun collaging and making a summer journal page for you.
I began by cutting out a magazine page (it is kind of a book) to use as my background. The flower centers are also cut out of a magazine page. I added bits of paint and the petals (which are actually book pages). The stems are made with crayons and the bird is a Stampotique image that I stamped and fussy cut. I left it white because I thought it would be much more dramatic on the page to do so. And then I added a few stickers to make my phrase.
Be sure to check out all the wonderful art the TIOT designers have made.
I am also linking this up to the When It's Hot challenge at Art Journal Journey as there is so much going on in a garden when it is hot. in the summer.
Thanks for visiting!

I love the bird that looks like its doing a happy dance under the flowers. Its a fabulous page using the cut out magazine papers for the flowers and images.

Apologies for all the spelling mistakes that must have been in my comment Erika, I won't mention the names I was calling the computer for not letting me alter them.

Love using book pages in my artwork so this really appealed to me. Such a great garden of lovely flowers and I do like the lilttle bird who has popped in to see what there is for him to see.
Hugs, Neet xx
I love this bright happy page. You're right about keeping the bird white. He complements the book page petals very well. Hugs, Eileen
Even when it's this hot I love playing in my little garden. I love your artsy flowers. Cool! I like the background and the colors you chose, too :)
This is a smashing piece Erika, the flower reminds me of a stamp I have somewhere in my collection, what a great piece of art, it would look fabulous framed. Love this TioT theme, my brain is on overdrive trying to think of ways to incorporate it with AJJ too... arghhhh!!
Hugs Tracey xx
Hi Erika from old Hampshire lol! What a fabulous fun piece - I love the use of those pages as the flowers. IT's been great fun being a Guest Designer with you at TioT
