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!
Gorgeous, bright and colourful page and very suitable for both challenges. Have a great day, take care, hugs, Valerie

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.
ReplyDeleteHugs, 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
ReplyDeleteEven 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 :)
ReplyDeleteThis 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!!
