Were having a new boiler fitted today and the front door is wide open and I'm freezing, so I decided to share one of the pages that I made for the Art Journal Summer School 2018, the guest teacher was Marlene Meijer-Van Niekerk, I loved this lesson and I'm hoping that thinking of the sunny landscape will warm me up a little.
I'm entering my page into the
Art Journal Journey Creature Comforts challenge chosen by Linda, being warm to me is defiantly a creature comfort.
For the fields I adhered some patterned paper to the page, and the rest of the background was coloured with Decoart acrylic paint. I used acrylic paint and Neocolour 2 to colour the colourful striped field, this is to represent fields of tulips growing. For the houses I used Paperartsy stamps, I used a Finnabair stamp on some gold card for the circle. The sun is stencilled with a Tim Holtz stencil and acrylic paint, the flowers were stencilled with black acrylic paint. I used a Dina Wakley stamp for the trees at the bottom.
Well I haven't warmed up but Iv'e enjoyed looking at my sunny page. Thank you for dropping by to take a look, you're all very welcome. xxx
Goodness Hazel, this is incredible. There is so much color, so much going on, and so much to see in this incredible journal page. Every time I look, I see something I missed before. It's very eye catching indeed. Of course it is also the perfect choice for sharing it at Art Journal Journey. It fits Linda's theme perfectly.
