Hi everyone. As you most likely realize May is starting to wind down. Since our challenges at Art Journal Journey run for the month, that means Mia's Birds challenge only runs for the next few days.
I have a couple of pages left to share, so today, here's one of them.
The tea paper background made me think this page needed to be a little bit feminine, so I added some paper lace. All the wildlife and natural references on that paper made me want to add the bird, daisy, bee and butterfly. The tea paper also did not fill the page, so I added some polka dot paper above where the tea paper ended.
The lady's face and the robin were stamps by 2 different sets from Paper Artsy. The woman came faceless, and I added a simple smile on her, because of course a cup of tea and some garden time are always worth smiling about. Off the top of my head I can't remember who made the daisy stamp, but I think it was from Visable Image. All 3 of these stamped images were colored and fussy cut before adding them to my page. The quote journaling card in the center was cut out of a sheet of paper; all papers are oldies from Graphic 45.
I finished my page with some punch outs from 49 and Market. This includes the tickets, insects and laces. On the top blue strip I added some little plastic flat beads to finish off my page.
That's all for me today. I hope everyone has a super Thursday, or you have a super day whenever you stop by. 😄

A faceless woman - glad you helped her out! To tea! Or... maybe an icecream - I will slowly make my way to the city on this sunny day - have a wonderful one, hugs...
I thought the polka dots were part of the tea paper. Well done!
...you must have a huge stash of stuff to work with.
Lovely page!-Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
What a beuatiful piece of art you created <3
This is so refreshing. I mean I would hang this in my house. Very nice indeed.
Lovely page especially the colors. The paper lace makes me think of lace curtains. This would have been a great post for T Day, too. I hope you don't get snow for tomorrow night!
Erika linda página você é incrível, desejo uma ótima quinta-feira bjs.
Wow again. I am super impressed. I love this page and that bird. I noticed another bird in the background paper. It's a wonderful entry, filled with great details, and perfect for Mia's theme at AJJ.
I forgot to answer your question about ICAD themes. No theme, but I will try to match my word of the day with the postage stamp I'll choose.
What a lovely page!
I had to quickly look on my phone to see what day it was as I thought this might be a T-Day post because of the teapot. I've just come back from holiday and I sometimes don't know what day it is....But it's Friday and as from Monday everything will go as normal.
A short c&p and visual visit to check out your latest posts.

Can't beat a nice cup of tea--no wonder she's smiling! :-) Your page made me smile too.
That is a lovely page.
All the best Jan
I love your collage grouping, that paper and the paper lace is a nice touch. xoxo
