A hybrid journal page for Art Journal Journey
where Gill's
super theme for the month is...
Elegance and Grunge
I'm not sure I can say this is elegant.... well maybe the flower...
but it is for sure has a lot of inky grungy.
I used a couple of my new TH mini stencils
on top of a mop up page.
The bottom post card had to be covered , to hide a very dark splodge of water colour paint. I had tried to wash it out brushing with plain water, but.... you guessed...it didn't work on the card surface and was starting to leave a hole.
The other additions and the words were added
in my digital program.
We have been taking advantage of some brighter weather this week. Going off again to Beamish,
I will share the photos in a later post.
Back in our own garden we have an array of spring colours.
The Rhododendron is in full bloom
Lots of Bluebells, giving colour under the trees and shrubs.
The Lilac with its heady aroma
next to the Acer, which is shades the patio in the summer.
Last the Apple Blossom and a visitor, collecting an afternoon snack..
Thank you for calling in today.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
Gorgeous journal page, you found a great solution for the splodge! Love the photos, spring is such a wonderful time of year.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy being out and about! Hugs, Valerie
I love seeing all the flowers in bloom and how your piece reflects that joy and also the coming of summer. :) You are a bit ahead of us, no lilacs yet here, but soon. Hope its a great weekend Yvonne. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteah ha is this using those stencils you mentioned Yvonne- if so - pleased you got to play with them before no doubt being out and about again. Maybe that splodge was a happy accident - I love this - I think this is a beautifully grungy elegant page! (thanks again for joining in at AJJ).
ReplyDeleteYour garden flowers and shrubs etc are looking really nice too and a lovely mix of happy colours.
Enjoy your weekend... Gill xx

ReplyDeleteWonderful page Yvonne and I do think it's both grungy and elegant. The little postcard is a greta solution and really actually adds to the overall effect.

A terrific page and a great way to cover a naughty splodge Yvonne.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photographs as always.
Love Chrissie xx

What a beautiful page and love how you have created the background.
ReplyDeleteI was really impressed by the grunge of this page. It was beautiful because it was so grungy.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is full of wonderful color and I can almost smell the beautiful lilacs. So much to see in your spring garden this year.
Wonderful page. Great save. Your garden looks beautiful. TFS the photos.

I love your colourful flowery page, and the cleverly disguised accident. Your garden shrubs are all looking very pretty too, this is such a lovely season.
