Hi everyone. Happy new month to you.
I'm back again for my second post today with a journal page for our newest challenge at Try It on Tuesday. Thank you to everyone who joined our Black and White Plus One Other Color challenge, and thank you Lia for hosting .
Since it's now October (can you believe that?) our challenge is all about the present Northern Hemisphere season. Our latest challenge is
AUTUMN MAGIC
For my journal page, I started with a background that was red with black and had some attempted page designs on it, none of which were working for me. I decided to give all that mess a coat of gesso, and then cover it over with lots of die cuts and also some punch outs to make an autumnal collage. It's jumbled and messy ❤, but what I wanted to capture was the mosaic of color you get when you look closely into the a forest that's in full autumn regalia.
I left the little birds black and white just to give your eye something to be drawn to. I love all the colors of fall, and I think the little birds do too.
Be sure to check out the rest of the Autumn Magic from the other designers. There's so much you can create with this theme. And as usual, our challenge runs for the next fortnight. Hopefully you'll be inspired also we'll see you there.
I will also be linking up my journal page to Alison's Autumn Colors and Inspiration challenge at Art Journal Journey. Please remember at AJJ we only accept art journaling. No cards, tags, ATC's or other forms of art please.

Yes, fall is here, with all its vibrant colour. Time to stock the bird feeders and get them back up again. All the best - David
...enjoy the magic and I wish you an Outstanding October.
Your journal page is vibrant with autumn colors. Really quite lovely.
Got a failed to publish. This may be late getting to you.
Definitely autumn here....so much rain and cooler in the early mornings. The page looks lovely!
Your Autumn looks so bright, awwww. Here it´s grey like it was evening already! Cold, icky, grey- so much nicer to visit you, hugs!
The reds have been coming on strong for color. Your little birds remind me of the chickadees. We'll be seeing more of them as the weather gets colder. A grey day outside, but your page is so cheery.
Such a pretty fall page! I'm loving all those autumnal leaves with the toadstools and birds - perfect 😊. Happy October! Hugs, Jo x
p.s. thanks for the heads up about the pages, I loaded the wrong one that was for later in the week - oops! ❤️ X
Wonderful page that captures the beauty of Fall with all of those colorful leaves everywhere! I spy some birds, mushrooms and even pumpkins in here too! Everything that is magical about Fall!
I absolutely adore these colours, of course the birds really make it special for me! Hugs, Chrisx

I absolutely love this page Erika! It's so full of Autumn colours and joy!
Such a vibrant page with the bluey greens, greens and yellows against that red background. I love how you toned the page down with the addition of all those leaves and berries along with the acorns, toadstools and little birds.
Truly autumnal.
Hugs, Neet xx
Absoluty beautiful page, beautiful colors, congrats 😊💐 happy day
A beautiful mix of Autumn colours I adore how the birds are all busy trying to get to those berries so sweet.
