Wrapping up February

     Hi everyone. Happy Thursday.

    I'm back today with another journal page as I am wrapping up my pieces for Vicki's Music challenge at Art Journal Journey. Thank you Vicki for hosting. You inspired us with lots of wonderful artwork. ❤And thank you everyone for joining in. It was a fun theme, wasn't it?

     My page today is a bit of a jumble, but I like it. It started with a sheet of blank (no notes on it) music paper. I then stamped various instruments using the TH music set  and a set from the old Flourishes Stamp company. The funny thing about that TH instrument set is I only picked it up because I found it marked way down (several years ago). I didn't think I'd use it all that much, but ha ha, it became one of my most used sets. Shows you what I know. Grin.

    After I stamped those I  added some die cut musical notes and clefts. I hit a roadblock then, and I wasn't sure I liked it. I decided then to ink my page with a brown ink pad, and I still didn't like it, so then I sponged some gesso over to which pulled the background together at least.

     I'm not sure who made the quote stamp, but I wanted to use it once this month. I decided to frame it in so it would stand out, and I added some die cut musical notes around it to help it stand out even more. Then I added an inked and drawn on violin chipboard I had in my stash. The violin was the original inspiration for the page, and I really wanted it to stand out. 

    That's all for me today. I hope everyone has a great rest of the month.
