Yellow

      Hi everyone. Happy Thursday.  It's been a lovely week (again) so far weather-wise at my house; these are all bonus days with cool nights for nice sleeping and warm days. I love it!❤

     Today I have a couple of journal spreads to share from my Garden/Harvest journal.  Today's theme is yellow.

     I'm linking up to Aimeslee's Anything Goes challenge at Art Journal Journey and also to Creative Artiste Mixed Media challenge blog  #108. The theme there is always Anything Goes.

    This first page is all about bees and honey. My bees are doing very well, and they made a lot of honey. However they didn't make any for me to take.  😒  Oh well, I would rather they have food, especially since we have long winters here in NH.

      The background is made with a bit of paper layering as well as some ink coloring. On the left I used 2 die cut sets.I used black paper and a honeycomb die. I also used a Hero Arts set to make the honey pot, the honey dripped and also the word honey.

      On the right side I used some die cut bees. I used a glitter pen on their wings and added some little art gemstones to their bodies. I also added some yellow ric-rac trim and a felt sunflower from my stash.

      My other spread today is all about  Corn. On the right side I used a sheet of cardboard colored paper. There are 2 holes punched in the top where I added some green twine. I stamped some corn stalks along the bottom, and I also stamped the large corn image which is from Impression Obsession. I used markers to color the corn and watercolor for the background. I framed it with a layered frame and added some vintage yellow stamps (I don't recognize what they are from) behind it. I  used my favorite cow stamp on acetate, added some bright yellow trim and also some yellow washi tape. The corn word is cut from a sheet of paper.

        I had all these little plastic ears of corn I wanted to use, so I created a cornfield with die cut corn stalks and a stamped and fussy cut fence. I first stamped some corn stalks along the bottom for depth, and then I added the die cut stalks and the fence. The windmill top is a slightly altered sticker, and I drew in the legs. The corn seed packet was cut from a  sheet of paper, and I added the punch out quote. Funny, the quote was just laying on the floor as it must have fallen out of an envelope or package, I think it wanted to be on this page, and since it works great, I added it.

      Here's a close up of my favorite cow stamp so you can see it better. I colored in the daisy that was in it's mouth.

There you have it. That's a lot for today, so that's all for me. Have a great rest of your day!
