A Quick Page

    Hi everyone. Happy mid-week to you. Today I have a short post; I'm just sharing a page I made for Gillena's Trees Are Awesome, Aren't They? challenge at Art Journal Journey


   I used various punch out and fussy cut images from Ciao Bella, Stamperia and 49 and Market to make this page. I haven't had tons of art time lately since I've been busy doing some outside chores or walking. After our long winter, it's so nice to be outside. 👍

   The background started with my cleaning off a brush with some deep green paint. Then I used a couple of shades of green ink pads to give the rest of the page some color. The ledger background is part of this Dina Wakely journal.

   You can see the tree trunk lying on the ground and the twisty tree on the left hand side. Plus it looks like there's a branch holding the herbs (mostly herbs) along the top and the wood that came  from a tree to make the readers chair. And of course, even the paper in the book is made from trees.


   I finally used a TH stamp to stamp the quote.

   And that's all for me today. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day.

The combination of blues and greens is very soothing (as natured intended them to be!)
