Be positive

For those of you expecting Saturday Afternoon at the Movies, it is on hiatus for a couple of weeks.  I have so many challenges in which I want to participate, something had to go

Erika, aka Bio Art Gal, is our host this month at Art Journal Journey with her themes plaid, stripes, polka dots, and patterns.

Moo-Mania and More's latest challenge theme is Use a stamp.  These are the two stamps I used, one of which was gifted (thanks Valerie), one I made myself.

I call this Be positive.

I'll let you peruse these close-ups.

For this spread that I created in my newest altered book, I began by laying down some Titan Green fluid acrylic I recently purchased.  When it was dry, I stamped the repeating Chevron stamp I made in April, 2017.  For this I used black pigment ink, so I had to let it dry before I could proceed.  Next, I added the butterfly.  I tried to stamp it using gold pigment ink, but the gold had obviously dried to the point of no return.  In desperation, I changed to pink and tried to stamp over the butterfly in the same place.  Although I tried to line it up, sadly, I missed.  The other two butterflies were stamped in only pink.  Finally, I added the Be positive message.

Thanks for visiting today.  I'm always happy when you drop by.  I hope you will join Bleubeard and me at Art Journal Journey and Moo-Mania and More, too.
