Thursday Art

 Hi everyone. Happy Thursday. 

  Today I'm sharing another journal page  for Mia's Birds challenge at Art Journal Journey  This page in my journal doesn't want to lay flat even when I push back the covers, so I apologize for the quality of the photos. (I actually had to use a small clamp to hold the page down while I made it.) 😣

    The background began when I was trying out an ink pad to see if it was the right coppery-brown shade for different page. No sense wasting ink if it wasn't quite right, and I could use whatever coppery-brown color it was on this page. The ink ended up quite streaky on the paper (and didn't work for the other piece I was trying to make either), so I covered up much of it with this 4 frame sheet of collage paper. In 3 of the frames I added some acetate that I stamped on and then cut to fill the frame. I thought 4 blank frames was a little too boring. 😏

    I then edged the top and bottom of that sheet with some washi tape.

    The parrot is cut out of a sheet of Ciao Bella paper, and the flowers are cut out of a sheet of Mintay paper. Those flowers were all white, but I did  a tiny amount of coloring on some of them. I thought the white would pop off the page a lot more than if they were completely colored in. Finally, I finished with a quote from TH.  

   I also want to share another tag for Pinky's Add Some Pink challenge at Tag Along (and ATC's too).

   This time I started with a red tag, and I outlined the edges with a white paint pen. I punched out 3 flowers from an older Art  By Marlene set. I added a bit of pink paint with a  paint pen to the more purple flowers. Then I took some leftover scrap mini flowers that were white and painted them pink also. I glued them down in the center of each flower.

   I had this metal ribbon charm (I believe from TH) in my stash. It was silver, so I painted it pink and added a small pink 1/2 pearl  to the center. Then I added a piece of thread through the loop and glued it down. Finally, I finished my tag by stamping the Inspiration word with white pigment ink. The word comes from a musical Stamperia set.

   That's all for me today. Have a great rest of yours.
