While I was worrying about my daughter
I decided to have a play in my art journal
so forgive any crazy mess!!
My mind struggled to leave my
worries behind.
The theme over at Art Journal Journey
is Houses and Buildings.
So I started with an old book page to cover
my page then stamped in brown using
Crackle Paint Stamp (SU).
I then inked up around the edges in black,
and added some blue and green here
and there to create a base for my houses.
I stamped the houses using
From our House to Yours (SU),
colouring them in different colours
using my markers then going in with
a black fine liner to add more
definition.
I cut them out and set them where
I thought looked good.
Before sticking in place I stamped
some trees from the same set,
adding colour with my markers.
I added some sentiment stickers
which I cut apart to suit the space.
I finally finished with some
embossing paste (SU) and a
brick stencil.
I added some stamped hearts
and wink of stella here and there
for good measure!
I would like to enter this into
It has been non stop rain here this morning.
So dark and depressing!
Here's hoping for a descent weekend.

Love the background and the fun, colorful houses!
Thanks for accepting the challenge at A Place To Start !
I really like this page Pinky. The buildings are great, and I really love the crinkle and the brick pattern. They work with those buildings so well. I hope your worries were just that, worries, and there was nothing serious. Art is a good way to take you mind off things. And thanks so much for joining AJJ for Matilde's challenge too. Much appreciated. hugs-Erika
Great texture...fun page. Art is a good distraction and even therapy at times.
Just saw this post and fun journal page visiting the one above, just checked and never shown on my reading list, so hope Blogger gets the issue sorted.
