April Challenge

The challenge set today on 12 Months in View is:
"Using Lime green, Lemon and Bluebell blue make a page, a layout, a tag, whatever you will based on any of the inspiration you have found on this blog post."

I decided I would try out some of the things I learned with Dina Wakley and that are contained in her book, Art Journal Freedom.

I spread a very thin layer of Gesso on the journal pages.  I added the green paint - rather too much of it really and it's probably too dark.  I added the paint with an old credit card which has given some hard lines.   Using the same stencil I used on Saturday I removed some of the paint with a baby wipe through the stencil.

I added the lemon paint with my fingers and did the same technique with the stencil.  I added the blue with my fingers and then used Dina's Mosaic stencil and a baby wipe to remove the paint.

I dipped a plastic top in white acrylic paint and 'stamped' 7 circles across the page.

While the white circles were drying, using a set of bird stamps and Archival ink, I stamped on book paper and some scrapbook cardstock and cut them out.

I wrote part of The Wasteland quote across the page and then stuck on the birds.

  
I felt it lacked something, so i added the red paint through some sequin waste.

I look forward to seeing what you do today with the challenge.

Thanks for stopping by.
