A Couple Of Anniversary Cards

Happy Sunday everyone.
Today I’m sharing a couple of anniversary cards that I made earlier in the year.

For the first card I painted the hearts with watercolour, splattered some gold paint and wrote the sentiment.

For this card I splattered some pink and gold paint onto a piece of handmade paper, I adhered some different fabrics to some hessian and adhered it to the card. I added the Tim Holtz paper doll image and the sentiment that I’d stamped onto fabric.

Thank you for visiting, you’re all very welcome. xxx

Art Deco Lady

Hi everyone, I hope you’re all well and enjoying the weekend.
I’ve not been very well for the last couple of weeks, I caught a nasty virus from somewhere, I’ve not been able to get out and have spent most of the time in bed or under a blanket on the settee. No crafting has been done in my room but I’ve managed to do some embroidery which has made a nice change. I’ve started to feel a little better so hopefully I’ll be more my old self by the end of next week.

I’ve been looking through my photos and found a few projects that haven’t been blogged yet so I’ll share A couple of them with you.

The two spreads were made for the Art Journal Summer School 2019.

I drew the lady and painted her with acrylic paint, the background was made with bits of paper and painted. The left page is just a piece of patterned paper that I wrote on.

For this lesson we had to see what colours we could make with four watercolours.

Thank you for visiting, have a lovely weekend. xxx

Spring Tulips

The weather has been a bit better today, it was lovely and warm in the sun when I walked the dogs earlier today so perhaps spring will be here soon. I love all the spring bulbs that are flowering at the moment, especially tulips, so today I'm sharing a simple drawing of some tulips.

I'm entering my drawing in the Art Journal Journey Spring challenge.

I drew the tulips and coloured them with watercolour pencils. I lightly coloured the background and stamped some script and added some splatters. I stamped the word tulip but its's a bit wonky.

Thank you for dropping by, enjoy the rest of your day. xxx Hazel.

Summertime Love

Hi everybody, today I'm sharing with you a page that I've made for this months Art Journal Journey challenge, Elizabeth from the Altered Book Lover blog has chosen the Theme of Summertime Love. There's lots of things that I love about the summertime and one of them are sunflowers. My page is a watercolour using Neocolor 11 and Faber-Castell watercolour pencils, I used pitt pens for the writing.

Thank you for taking a look, have a lovely weekend.

Circles

Good morning, I hope you all had a good weekend.

Circles is this months challenge theme at Art Journal Journey. I must admit that in my head my page was a lovely pastel watercolour with a few circles but I got carried away.

I used watercolours for the background and for the different circles I used Neocolours, pitt pens. Posca pen, Finnabair stamps and Archival ink.

Thank you for dropping by, have a lovely day.

Santorini Sunset

I'm hosting this months Art Journal Journey challenge, my theme is a Magical Mystery Tour, there has been some wonderful entries and I've enjoyed looking at them, Bluebeard and Elizabeth has made some gorgeous pages of Santorini and it reminded me that I did a painting of Santorini last year for an online workshop that I was doing. It's not that good and it never got blogged but I was quite pleased with it, so on this very cold day my old London bus has taken me to be in the lovely sunshine at Santorini.

Thank you for dropping by.
