Birds, Leaves, and a Butterfly Journal Pages

Good morning Junkies!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend.

I have a bright journal page for your today using one of the new September releases.

I stamped the new release Oak Leaves onto my page several times, carefully matching up the edges, using Gingerbread ink.  I then painted some of the leaves with Art Anthology Velvet in Desire, Tango, Lemon Tart, and Shamrock.

Next I stamped Birds, Set of Five in several different colors of ink and cut out.  I arranged them on my page and after gluing them down (I used my Xyron sticker machine), I outlined then in black Sharpie to make them stand out.  To finish the page, I added words from the Sizzix Thinlits Adventure die set.

The front is simpler. 

I sprayed Art Anthology Wild Orchid and Salted Caramel Colorations onto my page.  Next I stamped Big Winged Butterfly on a piece of mixed media paper and cut out.  I painted the butterfly with Art Anthology Sorbets in Pixie, Coral, and Mi Bella.  Before gluing it down, I added dots using the Art Anthology Dottie stencil and Azure Sky Blue ink.  Once my butterfly was in place, I then added circles using the top of one of my Art Anthology paint bottles, Tuxedo Velvet, and white paint.  The word "life" comes from the same Sizzix Thinlits Adventure set I used above.

Until later..................

Such lovely work. The birds are totally awesome. I love that leaf background, which I have, and how you put such colourful birds around your journal page. I really need to let loose and go for journalling.
