April

Hi everyone. Happy April to you.

Since it's April that means it is time for a new challenge at Art Journal Journey. 

First let me once again thank Chris for hosting last month, and also thank everyone who joined Chris' challenge. Four legged animals was a  fun theme, so fun I still have a couple on my page for today. Grin. 

   For April I want to welcome Valerie at Bastelmania who is one of our admins at AJJ. She is one of the reasons I love this art journaling challenge so much as she encouraged me to join what now seems like a long time ago. This month Valerie's picked  GEOMETRIC FORMS   as her challenge.

     For my first journal page I used a set of concentric diamond die cuts and some white paper.  (Diamonds would be quadrilaterals if I remember my high school geometry.😏) I cut all of the diamond sizes twice. Then I arranged many of them on my page and used watercolor paints to paint them. Once dried, I outlined each diamond with a paint pen.

     I then took some lavender spray ink and gave a few spritzes onto my page. After that dried, I added a few more white diamonds, and I decided to leave those diamonds white. I then stamped some spring flowers onto my page and colored them in with markers. I also stamped the spring scene with the doe and the bunny onto some acetate and after fussing cutting, added that to my page.

I finished by stamping my quote.

      Just a reminder that at AJJ we only accept art journal pages. They can be any size or made any way. We do not accept cards, tags, ATC's or just a  photograph that is not part of a journal page.  But you can use a photo (or more than 1 photo) on your journal page. Also please be aware that if you enter using social media other than blogging, we may not be able to comment on your journal page.

       Valerie's challenge runs all month, and I hope you have some ideas and time to join us.
