Morning Everyone! (Or Afternoon, depending where and when you're reading this) And sometimes the mornings fly by after I start creating, and before I know it, I've missed lunchtime! Lol
I'm still determined to create some art every day, and that reminds me, I need to go and buy another journal as Hobbycraft have a sale on. This page took about half an hour, as my tea wasn't too cold when I finished, like it usually is.
This was another page with leftover paint printed with bubblewrap. I had some scraps of gelli prints from another project lying on my desk, so I collaged them into a rectangle on the page, then reached for a charcoal pencil and scribbled some circles and journalling, then painted around the circles with Bora Bora Fresco. Used my pencil to write 'explore', then finished with some black Bombay ink splatters. No page is complete without splatters!
This is another page for Erika's New Year, New Adventures Challenge at Art Journal Journey, and I'm also entering it at Country View's Anything Goes Challenge.
Happy creating!

This page is fantastic. I don't know if you planned to make it like the earth, but it reminds me of that. The colors are fantastic too. I think this is one of my favorites. I'm glad you stopped by and joined us at AJJ. Hugs-Erika
