'Having Fun'
is theme for April, hosted by Wendy over at
Having fun while crafting is simply one of the best ways to spend free time.
So I think maybe this month I will be enjoying myself getting more messier
than usual and having fun.
The background again is another mop up stencil page. I still have a few to use, spraying with water after using the stencil for a project, produces many more prints.
. Of course making the ink or paint go further.
I used Paper Artsy, ALL&create images and a TH quote..
The shading is mainly water colours and a few alcohol ink pens.
Thank you for calling in, your visit here is always appreciated.
This really does look like fun! Love how you built on your mop up page! Hoping to find more time to play! Hugs,Chrisx

This had me grinning from ear to ear. It is so cute and clever. I was certainly impressed by the tip you shared about spraying the stencil, then adding it to a different journal page. What a PERFECT idea and one that will go in my "why didn't I think of that?" list. Thanks, too, for sharing it with us, using Wendy's theme at Art Journal Journey.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Yvonne - it looks like lots of fun. Love that quote! The precariously balanced birdhouses are a great touch and the bird looks amazing!

So much fun going on - all those dynamic strokes and whirls in the background add to the movement and life and chaos... and those house flowers are a delight. I think the birds could do with a hand moving in, by the look of it.

Such a fun page, it really made me smile! I love the layers of colour and your birdhouses and little birds are beautiful 😁. It seems all the birds in our garden are gathering bits and pieces for their nests so it really captures the season too! Sorry I'm so late visiting, as it was my birthday on Wednesday I've been celebrating with family and friends ever since so I haven't had much time for blogland lately, just need to catch up on everything now ...lol 😉. Creative wishes! J 😊 x
