Hello my dear friends and welcome. A very special welcome to my new followers. Thank you so much for joining me on my creative journey.
There is a new Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers and it is my turn to be host. Our Theme for this fortnight is - Autumn Colours.
In Australia we are actually just starting our Spring Season but, I do love the oranges, browns, yellows and greens of Autumn, so I am delighted to host this Challenge. As always, you may enter whatever you wish to create. Just make sure you use our Autumn Colours Theme.
I have created an Art Journal page. I actually made this some months ago and decided to keep it for this Challenge.
A few close-ups first.
For the sub strata I used a sheet from a paper pad by Tim Holtz (Can't remember what it's called) and then created the colour with my fave Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals. I mixed the powder with water and then used a paint brush to sploosh the colour onto the background. I then simply sprayed over it with water to move the colour around and used the paint brush to add the splashes..
Lots of stamping with archival ink and a bit of doodling around the edges.
A piece of fibre ribbon for added texture and lots of layering with bits of ephemera.
So looking forward to seeing your creations!

Gorgeous layering and texture on this Autumnal card Margy. Love the pop of teal peeking out beneath the butterfly. The quote is perfect for an all occasion card. Lovely work. x

Hi Marg, I hope this finds you well.. another week that is flying by.... I love your journal page, the colors are very autumny and rustic and love the butterfly as a centerpeice... the mesh adds great interest and texture too.. enjoy the rest of this week!!!
ReplyDeleteHello Marg, this page is gorgeous! You are ever reminding us of what we can do to add texture and interest in some basic ways; and how it all works together so beautifully! Rich and warm; this is Autumn splendor! Hugs friend, karen o
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely glorious - the colours, the layers, the textures... it all adds up to a really beautiful feast of autumn delights. It's funny, I never touch orange/red/yellow craft-wise until autumn hits, and then I'm more than happy to dive in, but it's only for that short season! Hope to come and play along with your lovely theme.

ReplyDeleteMargaret, I'm head over heels with your autumn inspired journal page! Those ephemera layers are absolutely inspiring and your 'splooshes' of fall color on the background are just perfect! Love this, can you tell? Hugs!
