ART JOURNAL PAGE..

 

Hello everyone..

Last weekend I had a huge day printing, colouring and fussy cutting, the weather was grim and what a better way to fill in your time..I used these quirky fun images from Vera Lane...bought a heap of them.




Oh, boy, did I get thumb cramp..BUT,I had a wonderful time, had Neflix on and listened to something I cannot even name as I don't think I ever looked up, but it was company, and LOUD.


I bought a lovely set of Deco chalk paints..and they paint on beautifully..


So I set to and started my Art journal page with the sky which went right to the bottom of the page..




Darkened it up a bit and added a grassy area..



Put some clouds in...


Added texture on them with paste and a stencil..



With a black marker I animated the clouds all the more...


And the I added my fussy cut birds, those quirky little birds stole my heart, so I made a Mama and babies walking through the marsh..




Then it needed flowers so added a few of those too..




A close up of those clouds and birds..


And there we have a double page Art Journal page..


The sentiments say, as this picture is quite small..

"This is what family looks like"
"Always take the scenic route"...


Such a great day when I made this..

Thanks so much for stopping by, see you soon..

Luv CHRISSYxx

I'm a big Vera Lane fan too, Chrissy. Great idea to have them ready in stock so you can use them whenever you want. Love these pages with the adorable bird family and the fab flowers.
Your background is fantastic too.
I can see you in my mind when you are crafting with Netflix loud and that sweet Holly helping you!!

Such a brilliant AJ layout Chrissy! I love that you've taken your colored up pieces to create your scene and then just used your media to have fun with the background scene! Thanks for the inspiration my friend! HUGS

Oh, Chrissy! That's just TOO MUCH FUN! I love those piles of Vera Lane goodies! The pages you put together are fabulous!

Oh how enchanting this is! I love the whimsy of your mama bird and babies in the marsh art journal pages - those chalks are intriquing. Any residue after they are dry? (like I ran my hand on my old pastel chalks and it would be all over me!) I love your sweet kitty - she's a beauty and stole the show! xx
