Wednesday Art

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

Really 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!

We never had a destination when traveling Australia and that was wonderful! Hugs, thank you for thinking back of that!

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.
Love 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!

That's a lovely tag. I like the VW bus. Sadly, I often find the journey more tedious than the destination.

That 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.

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!'

Flowers and color just go together, so your happy place would be a bouquet of colorful flowers. Fun artwork!
