My Numbers Guy

While Sami is on hiatus, along with her Monday Murals, I'm once again joining Yvonne, aka Meggymay, our host this month at Art Journal Journey.  She wants us to use Words and Numbers in our art.

I call this My Numbers Guy.

I brought out a new-to-me stencil and went to town.

I recycled three of my 365-somethings, those 4 inch square pieces of art I made every day last year.

For a bit of bling, I added a house number I found in my stash.  I should use these more often because I bought a boatload of them one year at the thrift shop.  One of the things I like about them is they are self stick.

Culling through the squares, my goal was to find those with the yellow, red, pink, and orange colors I planned to use for this journal page.

I wanted the squares to blend rather seamlessly with the background.

I began with a sheet of 110 lb card stock to which I added a sheet of computer generated ledger paper found on the internet.  Once adhered, I colored the ledger page using the yellow water soluble crayon.  When dry, I added the three squares, one to which I added stenciling, one the address number (7), and the tissue paper on which the paper doll could stand.

Thanks for visiting today. Your visits mean the world to me.  I hope to also see you at Art Journal Journey.
