Hi everyone. Today I have some art to share for a couple of challenges.
First of all, there's a new challenge at Tag Tuesday. This time Sandie is hosting and her theme is Travel. I made a stamped tag using a set of stamps that came with a stamping magazine many years ago.
I also have a page for Matilde's What's Makes You Happy challenge at Art Journal Journey. Two things that make me happy are flowers and color.
I made my colorful background by first gluing down a piece of deli wrap that I had worked on for quite a while. Then I stamped the long flower definition several times along the bottom of the page. I also stamped the large flowers, once for each flower on this page, and then once for each on acetate. After I glued them down, I used some alcohol ink to color the acetate flowers. I finished my page by stamping the never ending loops and also adding some printed quotes.
That's all for me today. Have a great middle of your week.
Gee, I try not to focus on the journey, especially if it involves long flights. The fun part is arriving! All the best - David
ReplyDelete...the journey is what matters.
ReplyDeleteI love these two pages! The colours on the 2nd page are stunning.
ReplyDeleteFabulous journal page, love the colours, and your tag for Sandy's challenge is GREAT! Thanks so much for linking to both challenges, and have a great day, hugs!

ReplyDeleteGood morning, beautiful art I love both of these. Happy mid week hugs Kathy
ReplyDeleteReally fun tag and the perfect quote to go with it! Fabulous AJ page as well with the pretty colors and I couldn't agree more with the word art you've used today! TFS!
ReplyDeleteThis is a pretty one. I like the color and texture of the flowers.
ReplyDeleteWe never had a destination when traveling Australia and that was wonderful! Hugs, thank you for thinking back of that!
ReplyDeleteThat flowered piece is lovely. I appreciate the focus reminder.
ReplyDeleteA great tag, and I love your beautiful flower page Erika!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a good week.

What a fabulous tag and a very nice journal page.
ReplyDeleteHappy midweek wishes.
All the best Jan
I am with you on colour and flowers as something that makes you happy - me too. And your piece today really does make me happy.
ReplyDeleteLove the 'sketchiness' about the flowers, the various shades that make up the one colour of each flower head, the various pieces that make up the background and the never ending loops scattered about the page.
Great tag too.
Hugs, Neet xx
That's a wonderful spot to walk, Erika. All the better on a perfect day!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely tag. I like the VW bus. Sadly, I often find the journey more tedious than the destination.
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesomely awesome journal page. I love what you did with the flowers and the flower stamp. You put a great deal into this beauty. It is absolutely perfect for Matilde's theme at Art Journal Journey. Just stunning.
Fabulous art makes and both have very wise messages! I love them both.
ReplyDeleteHope your week is winding down well, XOX
Loving your travel tag, great selection of travel there.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for playing along with my theme at Tag Tuesday xx
I love both of your pieces! It's taken me years to really enjoy the journey and not focus only on the destination, and your reminder is always good!'
ReplyDeleteFlowers and color just go together, so your happy place would be a bouquet of colorful flowers. Fun artwork!
I love your tag Erika, you have covered a lot of basis there and yes the journey is the best part some times!! Your journal page definitely made me smile today, very beautiful! Thanks for playing along with us at Tag Tuesday.
