Hi everyone. It's another Tuesday, and time for another new challenge at Try It on Tuesday.
Thanks to all of you who joined us for our last challenge, which was Travel and Adventure.
This time our challenge is Fathered Friends. Who doesn't love all the beautiful birds there are to see?
I started my page with some stenciling using matte medium. Once dry, I added this piece of feathered tissue paper. It came long ago from something I bought online. After my matte medium dried I sponged around the stenciling with some pink and just a tiny bit of blue paint.
I stamped the bird in black, but then decided to color over it in blue marker. I also stamped small postage marks randomly over the page. The flowers are die cuts that I inked and painted in some details. I also stamped the quote and cut it out before adding it to my page. Finally I added the gold metallic paper butterflies.
Be sure to check out the other feathered friends from the design team at Try It on Tuesday. There is lots of inspiration there.
You have 2 weeks to join us. And since my page could be a from a summer countryside, I am also linking up to Alison's challenge at Art Journal Journey That challenge runs the rest of this month, but please, only art journal pages should be linked up.
Thanks so much for visiting.

Mind blowing post
Gorgeous page! I love the colourful feather tissue paper with the pretty bird and flowers - perfect 😁. Thanks for the inspiration and wishing you a wonderful week! Hugs, Jo x
Its a great background for your fabulous page Erika. I have spent a while looking at all the detail. I do like the quote you added. Walking in the countryside does indeed produce many interesting smells some like perfume but a few best forgotten.
Stay safe.

Fab mix of colors, feathers/bird, patterns, and stamps, Erika. Very pretty page and so many details to look at. The butterflies are a nice addition as well. Hugz

A magical page - all those colourful feathers, and that wonderful bird silhouette perched at the heart of it all. Summer wouldn't be summer without the birdsong in the countryside.
