Art Journal Journey - Flora Fauna

Hi Everyone! A new challenge has started at Art Journal Journey. Jo from Let's Art Journal has challenged us to use Flora & Fauna on our pages. As it's a new month, I have my May art journal calendar to share with you today...only a day late!


I created a background with my small round Gel Press plate, PaperArtsy paint and masks. The butterflies were stencilled, using the waste from a Sizzix die cut. I used PaperArtsy stamps for the title, then finished with some doodled flowers, marks and splatters.

We've had some good news, my husband has a new job, after being made redundant at the end of March! It's such a relief, and we booked ourselves a holiday to celebrate.

 Wishing you a happy new month!

  10. OMGosh. I completely forgot to share my calendar pages on my blog. I'm so glad you shared yours, although yours puts mine to shame. And being able to share them with Art Journal Journey is the perfect addition, too.

    SO glad to read about your husband. I can tell you are excited and we expect some G rated photos of where you go to celebrate (grin).
