Artful August - Day 30 Nature and Day 31 Layers

 Hi Everyone.

Here are my final two pages for Rachel Greig's Artful August. 

Day 30 - Nature. This one took about 30 minutes in the end, although it doesn't look like it 😆

I really love that quote that I found online.

Day 31 - Layers. All sorts of layers, and Tim Holtz PaperDolls and word sticker. And this was a 15 minute page...just!

I'm linking this page to Wendy's Vintage theme at Art Journal Journey.

Thanks for all your lovely comments on this challenge. Watch this space for the September ones, I found three! 😂

Artful August Day 27 - Animal

 Hello All.

Here's my Animal page for Day 27 of Rachel Greig's Artful August Challenge. 

This is also my page for Week 34 of Raspberry Blue Sky's 52 Weeks Art Journal Challenge, with the theme 'Vacation'. Anything that involves hiking in the countryside, with lots of animals and birds to spot, is my kind of holiday.

I love sheep, so I decided to create some using my favourite technique with a wine cork and white paint. Just 7 cork marks, then details added with a black pen. 

The hills are made with some green/turquoise monoprints, and the sun with a yellow/orange monoprint. The sky was painted with turquoise acrylic, then 'clouds' printed with white acrylic and bubble wrap.

I used a black Stabilo All pencil to ground the sheep, and finished with a cut up Tim Holtz phrase sticker. I love that quote...I love to wander, and so do sheep!

By the way, I allowed myself 30 minutes for this page, if you're wondering 😁

I'm linking up with Neet's Type theme again at Art Journal Journey for one last time.

Thanks for visiting,

Alison
