Thursday Art

   Hi everyone. Happy Thursday. This week, like all the others lately, is buzzing right by. And they predict today will be a bit warmer; perhaps even warm enough for a nice afternoon walk. 😏 (I hope...)

  Today I have some art to share for a couple of challenges.  First  I have a page for Sharon's Winter challenge at Art Journal Journey. This time my link to winter is the grey sky background, as one thing about winter is that it's much darker more of the time. 

  I used my new Kuratake Gansai Tami Graphite watercolors to color the background. Then I used an older TH die to cut out the street lamp. I filled in the glass dome of the lamp with gold paint and then drew in the lighted candle.  The 2 crows are on some clear washi tape that I have.

  I also die cut the trim that I used on both the top and bottom using an old Cheery Lynn die. The flowers are a heavy duty paper image that I received as a freebie when I ordered something earlier in the fall. Finally, I stamped the quote from a Paper Artsy Sara Naumann set. 

   I also have another tag to share over at Tag Along (and ATCs). This month Lynn is hosting, and even though you can always join with an anything goes tag. Lynn is requesting reed and green. My tag has lots of red and green, and even a little bit of blue too.

   The background is inked with some green Versafine Clair ink. Once that dried I used a bit of turquoise ink over it. I added a bit of washi tape ( from an  older TH set) and then I added a 49 and Market punch out twig with berries. Finally I finished by stamping the Joy to the World text. This stamp is ancient and has no markings on it. The little holly next to it is part of the stamp, and I colored in the leaves and berries. 

   That's all for me today.  Enjoy your day too.
