Houses and Buildings

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.
