Good Monday Morning to you all! This morning I'm sharing an art journal page that I finished up last night:
Sorry the isn't that great, I'm in a bit of a rush this morning because it's my grandson's birthday so there is still lots to do in preparation for this evening's festivities ;D
This is a background I did at my Donna Downey workshop a few months ago. I adhered a paper towel to my page for texture then stamped a Donna Downey flower onto tissue paper, fussy cut and applied to the page.
So last night I added the second flower, the butterfly, Donna Downey Unity stamp, did some doodling and added some scraps of paper here and there.
For the inclusion, I painted it to match my page and added this cute little Cosmo Cricket Angel that was in my PWP Jan Mixed Media Kit. She was actually on a tag but I fussy cut so it would show more of the background.
I added another tissue flower, some more doodling and the rest of the Donna Downey Unity quote. This came together very fast since my background was already done. I think I'm enter this in the Simon Say's Challenge for this week. They want to know what you're best known for so it's anything goes. That's kinda a hard question though, I think I'm best known for lots of layers, bright colors, lots of texture and details. I don't know, what do you think?
Alright I better go because I have a lot to do for the birthday boy. Thank's for joining me and have a beautiful day!!
I love your work !! You are so talented. I only just started and backgrounds is where I need that push .. I"m very basic in my backgrounds, but I'm sure with time I will learn. I wish I could take a workshop with Donna Downey, but I'm not close enough. Happy Birthday to your grandson :)
