Autumn


Hi everyone.  Summer is now officially over.  Happy autumn to you! 
It was a good summer for me although it was extremely dry and for here in New Hampshire, we had way too many days over 90 degrees. That's not the norm for us, and it's been since the 1950's since there were so many heatwaves.  I love autumn  so I'm not really sad to have this new season arrive. (Now winter, that is another story.) 

I made this page to celebrate the new season.  I started with a stencil and some clear gel paste. When it dried I used orange, brown and some green paint as well as spray inks. The moon was an image I had. I stamped the autumn word and the fairy. The leaves are stickers that I had (I added the red paint dot berries.) The mushrooms are some die cuts.


 This page has lots of texture so I a linking up to Jo's challenge at Art Journal Journey. There's still a week to join us with your texture pages if you're interested. Any image theme is welcome, as long as it is a journal page. 

Keeping this short.

Hope you have a great Autumn season.

That's a wonderful, rather mysterious looking page, love it. Great new header, too. It's been much too warm and dry here, too. Have a lovely day, stay safe. Hugs, Valerie

Oooh, Erika! The whole page is full of fabulous texture - including the lovely header! Is it your selfie;)) Yes, autumn is beginning here, too. Exceptionally long hot summer days we got as well.
I'm an autumn girl, too. My birthday is coming....
Thank you for visiting my site with supporting comments.
Wishing you and yours all the best for upcoming autumn xx

Such a gorgeous page to start the autumn season! Loving the stencilled texture with the drips running down and the little fairy and mushrooms are perfect for autumn/fall 😀. Thanks so much for the inspiration over at Art Journal Journey with all that amazing texture! Have a great week and Happy Fall! Hugs, Jo x

I love your new header, so adorable and a little bit eerily nostalgic! Beautiful job! I’m putting a whole new blog together and having a time with Blogger’s new interface. Visit me anyhow, I’ll make progress as time goes by. I hope!

Lovely airy page, Erika. What girl doesn't love imaginary fairies. My one of my favorite Little Golden books was "Thumbelina." The other was "Dr. Dan, the Bandage Man." Funny how we remember stuff like that. Hugs, Eileen
