Little Details

Carolyn has a weekly meme on Thursdays called Messy Little Details.  Find out about it here.  Why don't you join in?

I took this photo in Florida last November.  I took several photos but the butterfly always faced this way presumably to keep the sun on its back.

And the winner is - well I couldn't choose between you - I loved all the comments.

So could all 5 of you, Bonnie, Jennie, Scrapcat, Beverley and Carolyn,  please email me and give me your name and postal address.

Thanks for leaving a comment.

August

Welcome to a new month.  On 12 Months in View this is the last month of the Summer Season.  There is an introduction to the month and a challenge to  make a suitable page.

I decided that instead of art journaling I would try a page that was nearer to scrapbooking.  In my stash was some lovely sunflower papers so I used that.

I added the title and some butterflies.

Have you worked out why I used this song title?

Thanks for stopping by.

Passport to Art Day 31

If you want to join in with making an altered book through the month of July click through to the Passport to Art challenge blog.

Here on this blog I am going to share how I made the page for today's prompt.  The last day - welcome home!

Today's challenge was to add bunting to the page and to sum up the journey of the last 31 days.

I put gesso on the pages and sprayed ink and let it run down the page.  I stuck the folded page to the page behind it to make a pocket for the tag.

I inked the tag with Distress Inks and stamped the bunting with Vermillion Archival Ink.

I cut triangles from the painted paper I had left over from the Dyan Revealey bleachout technique and glued them to the page along the line I had drawn with black pen.  I added the map strip, the quote and the verse.

I used Black Soot Distress Ink through a stencil to added the triangle pattern.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have enjoyed seeing how I have put together the pages of my altered book.  Come back tomorrow to find out about the finished book.
