Hi everyone. Happy Sunday. We've been having more sunshine 🌞 this weekend, and they say during the week our temperatures could get up above freezing. Hurrah!!!! I hope those of you in the deep freeze warm up soon also.
I'm here today with a bit of art for a couple of challenges. My first piece is a journal page for Vicki's Music challenge at Art Journal Journey. Her challenge runs through the rest of the month, which is at the end of the week. Didn't we just start February?
I used a turquoise watercolor paint for the background, and then I stamped the images with a turquoise ink that was a bit darker, mainly because it was a different brand. The stamps are really old from Postmodern Design. The composer faces are on a cube, and then last year I found the matching signature stamp cube on eBay. I was excited to complete the set. The quote is also from Postmodern Design. Too bad that company went out of business (well it was back in 2005 so not recent at all) because I really like their stamps.
The paper images are from a Stamperia set. I die cut the musical staff and used an old hand punch to make the stars. And the moon is a gold paper image from my stash.
I also made a tag for Michele's Faces challenge at Tag Tuesday I decided to stick with a night them and use these moon faces.
I inked my tag blue, and then I glued down some tissue paper moon faces. I continued by adding some bright green paint and playfully swirling it around the background. I left a bit of blue exposed. Once that dried I added the punched out stars, outlined the edges of the tag and finally stamped the quote. It's from another ancient set this time put out by Technique Tuesday. They were another company I liked that are now out of business. I guess like everything, stamp companies come and go. But the good news is, there are always new companies with fun new designs.
I am also linking up this post to Gillena's Sunday Smiles.
I hope you have a great rest of your weekend and start to the new week ahead.

What would the world be without music! Great homage!
The moon faces surprised me, though. In French and English the moon is female, right - in German it is male and this looks rather male to me. Either way, to warm temps and a great rest-Sunday, hugs!
