Friday Challenge Art

Hello everyone. Hope your week has gone well.  Mine flew by as most weeks seem to do.  Luckily this week we've had early spring weather and lots of snow melt.

Today I have  some challenge art to wrap up the workweek. First of all, I have another page for Sheila's single flower challenge at Art Journal Journey

Above is a 2 page spread from my spring inspired Secret Garden Journal. I showed you the cover of this project the other day. It's part of a watercolor book I recently made, 5x7 inches in size.  I originally stitched the spine to make the book, but as I worked in it the pages started to rip apart, so I added colorful tape to keep them together. 

While stitching the original spine, I added some fancy stitching on some pages, and that it what you see on the left hand side. 

Both of the stamped images on the right are stamped on acetate and then glued down. I tried stamping the big flower directly on the page, but since getting the book to lay flat is what broke its spine, I found working on acetate was a better route to go. I did stamp the little bunny silhouette, and also I used some white foiled paper trim, the metallic bow and also a few little gemstones.  All the quotes are TH except for the one with gold print which is a small piece of washi tape.

I also noticed over on Jo's Let's Art Journal blog that the latest challenge at Country View Challenge is silhouettes, so I am linking up my page since that little bunny fits the challenge.

I also have a tag for Pinky's  Wings challenge at Tag Tuesday today.

I started with the crocus printed paper in the middle. I covered the edges with 2 shades of purple paint. I did some inking and stamping in brown and black ink. I also used a gelli roll pen to add the bright yellow to the bees. I finished off the tag with some gemstones, a piece of vintage ric-rac trim, as well as the quote.

Wishing you all a great start to your weekend.

And as always, thanks for visiting.
