Green

 Hi everyone. Happy Tuesday.  And happy March also to those of you that I only visit through the Try It On Tuesday challenge blog.

It's already time for a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday. Thank you to everyone who shared their art for our Let's Get Messy challenge.

 I also want to welcome  Helen  back to our design team. I've missed seeing your  snarky and fun art so I'm glad you're back.

Our newest challenge is all about 2 of my favorite things: the color green or reusing items in your art. Our new theme is

Go Green

I used green and also did a bit of recycling in my art journal page. I started by recycling some Japanese book pages. I used matte medium to glue them onto my watercolor paper. Then I painted my background green, and finally added some darker green painted strips of deli paper. I had used that deli paper  as scrap paper to work on. Once that deli paper was well used, I decided to take the parts I liked and add them to some journal pages. Then I splattered white paint on my page.

The Japanese image is by Lynne Perrella for Paper Artsy. I stamped and colored it before cutting it out and adding it onto my page. Before I added it I made a border with some stamped flowers and also with a couple of bunny stamps.  Finally I stamped the happiness image (a real oldie from Hero Arts) 3 times, and then I added the die cut cranes and also the die cut letter symbol.

We love all kinds of art at Try It On Tuesday, and you have 2 weeks to link up. I hope you'll Go Green and join us. 

And please don't forget to check out all wonderful art our design team has shared also. 

I am also linking my page up to Valerie's Anything Goes challenge at Art Journal Journey. Please keep in mind  that Art Journal Journey an art journaling challenge and NO CARDS are accepted.
