Happiness is yellow..... for AJJ

Yellow is the 'Colour in my World' today for

Art Journal Journey

Yellow is a colour that always seems to make me feel happy even if the sun isn't shining.

The page started off with a Busho background, some fussy cut stamped, water coloured  flowers [Paper Artsy]
A scrap of muslin and a brad.
This is an 8 x 8 inch journal page and no matter how many photos I take and can never get the pages to look flat and square.
All the other additions are digital.

Thank you for calling in, you are always welcome here.

Black for AJJ

 Art Journal Journey 

I have been browsing the net for  suitable phrases and quotes for colours 

 and came up this one  for the word  .... 'black'.
so that decided todays'......... Colour in my World.

I used this mixed media  background ,  I always have a few ready made up pages,  ready to use,   re- colour or add digital images to.  You will see scraps of book print, embossing, paler colours, which I toned down even more in my digital program.
It only needed a few waterbrush style
 images to complete my page.

Thank you for stopping by, your comments are always appreciated.

Lily for AJJ

Hello I'm Lily and I love colours.
I  like bright colours and never worry if they don't go together, I am  just me...... Lily
This is my page today for
Art Journal Journey

 and my theme choice of
Colour in my World

A fun mixed media/ hybrid  page from me today, to use up some scraps

that were lying around my desk and.......

..........this colouring page.

I was pleased to have found the Colouring Books published by Stampinton but it seems that they have now disappeared from the stores

They  take  all kinds of colouring mediums including watercolours as well pens and inks as they were printed on good quality paper.

You can see I fussy cut Lily out and stuck her onto a  messy inky background. Words were computer generated.

Thank you for calling in today and for the comments you leave me, which are always appreciated.

My name is Red for AJJ

A mixed media journal page today for

 Art Journal Journey

for..... ' Colour in my World'..... this months theme

My colour choice today is Red.

I used an already printed out base paper from a Jane Davenport paper stack.

No fussy cutting this time. It fitted into my journal with no cutting needed.

I added some stencils plain inked and some embossed, which I highlighted with gilding wax.

On an internet search looking for words to describe' Red',
I found these ones that  relate to  feelings.... passion.....energy....stability...its also supposed to increase physical energy and stamina.
I think I will pass on a few of these feelings for red
 and stick to the these two well known  opposites
 of love and anger.

Thank you for calling in today to see which colour is in my world today.

Colours of Nature for AJJ

The ' Colours in my World' 

for Art Journal Journey today

can be found in flowers.

I often say roses are my favourite blooms, but there can be nothing prettier than a bunch of assorted colourful flowers,  that will brighten any ones day when looking at them.

I didn't  colour the background for this page . the splodge of blue is a stencil,  I hadn't cleaned it  properly, so after a spray of water you can see the resulting mop up.

The floral corner is a napkin, also added was a little script another old and very much used stamp.

Off to the computer next,

 a few digital colour additions and the words.

Thank you for stopping by today, you are always welcome here.

My Friend at TioT's

My Friend

is the new challenge theme over at Try it on Tuesdays.

It can be human, animal or imaginary.

There are lots of ideas from the DT, please pop over to take a look and we hope you will join us.

This is a l card  I made for a good friend who was having a special birthday recently.

We are both at an age where numbers don't matter anymore, so why add them to a card.

Lots of layers, a found friend and her dog, lace and scraps.

 A computer generated tag so I could add the right words.

The embossed panel has a base of oxide inks.

So once everything  was assembled it was just a question of sticking it down.

Thank you for stopping by today, your visit

 and comments you leave for me are always appreciated.

Chocolate, love and tea.

Today's colours are happy ones,

 especially when  my fussy cut out girl has a tray of chocolates to share.
The colours are mainly shades of red ,  colours that also  can relate to being loved.
So these are the 'Colours in my World'  today for
Art Journal Journey

The base layers are stencils, paper napkins and a few splashes of colours.
I also added a scrap of material and saved it from ending up in  the bits box , never to see the light of day for another long period if time.
The clock die cut was painted red. I used a brad to add the pointers,  that way it can be whatever time in the day I choose.

Now hello to  the folk calling in from
 Bleubeard and Elizabeths








where every Tuesday we are made very welcome with a drinks related post

I am having my usual type  of brew today.
 I related to the second part of the words on the cup today....  I am tired.
All down to a family get together yesterday, with husband in charge of the kitchen, me eating  far to much food and drinking  a couple of glasses of wine.
Happy Tea  Day wishes to you all.
