Art Journal Page - Adventure or Tea?

Hello Everyone!

For today's art journal page, I found a fab quote from Alice In Wonderland. I hope you can read my wobbly writing, that I did with paint through a thin nozzle. 

Before I made my page, I used Dylusions paint and a variety of packaging and textured items to decorate some teabag papers. 

Here are the results...

For my page, I first created a background with white paint, then applied Calypso Teal with my finger. I stamped the Postbox Red dots with an Artifacts stamp, adhered the teabag, then added various marks with my finger, the end of a paintbrush, and paint pens. After I'd written the quote, I finished with some splatters and a doodled border. Then I realised the teabag needed outlining, so I used a charcoal pencil, and smudged it with my finger.

I'm entering my page for Erika's New Year, New Adventures Challenge at Art Journal Journey, and also for The Artistic Stamper's Anything Goes Challenge.

Time for a cup of tea and a spot of crochet now, and a nice film to drown out the horrible windy weather!

The Funkie Junkie 12 Tags of Christmas - Week Seven

Happy Weekend Everyone!

I'm into the second half of my Funkie Junkie cards, and here's my version of Linda's Week 7 Tag. I was inspired by the centre piece of Linda's tag.

I used Vibrant Turquoise and London Blue Dylusions Ink Sprays with a Crafter's Workshop snowflake stencil. The colour in the photo isn't true at all, as it's really very Vibrant Turquoise! I glued two tattered doily edges together, then embossed with Frantage Aged Black EP. The sentiment is a stamp by The Artistic Stamper. I finished off with some ribbon coloured with the inks, and a pearly brad.

The challenge is sponsored by The Funkie Junkie Boutique.

I'm also entering my card in The Artistic Stamper's Creative Christmas Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by,
