A Song for Spring

 Hi everyone. Happy Thursday.

    We're back having some icky weather this morning, but luckily it is going to stop early because I have  some Harry Potter plans this afternoon. (More about that later.) Because winter isn't going away as fast as I now want it to go, here's a spring page for Vicki's music challenge at Art Journal Journey.


     The background is made with page out of an old Japanese book and some Paper Artsy Matt-tint glaze. I painted the tree and also used a Stabilo pencils on the trunk. The leaves are painted with green acrylic paint and then over inked with some liquid green ink.

     The birds were together in a larger stamp. Since there was also some other things in the stamp, I cut out the birds, colored them with markers and paint as well as a white pen. Then I added them to my page. The musical notes are die cut, and I used a scrap of that same paper to stamp my quote on. It comes from an old Technique Tuesday set that has a whole slew of music quotes on it.

     And unless you were clouded in, had blinds/curtains closed or were someplace with lots of light, you couldn't have missed the snow full moon. These are photos are from Tuesday evening, and boy was it bright that night.



    That's all for me for this post. Have a great rest of your day or evening or night, depending when you read this. 😏

  6. That bright moon certainly casts its light across the trees for you in your photo. I always think of blue being the colour that we use so much to portray the cold days of winter so it was especially good to see your spring like green appearing in your post.
    I love the turquoise lettering/music against that background which says 'spring' as you look at your page.
    The appearance of the birds and the music is perfect. A lovely uplifting page - thanks Erika.
    Hugs, Neet xx
