At the Bird Convention

 

I finally have time to share a journal page for Art Journal Journey.  Matilde of Craftowanie is our host this month and her theme is Birds.   And because I used a stencil, I'm also joining Try it on Tuesday.

Today we are heading to the Bird convention.  I've added a few close ups for your enjoyment.

 

  I originally intended to use three birds on this side (we all know odds are better than equals in a spread), but no matter how I positioned them, three just didn't look right.  That's why I got rid of the third bird.

I started by applying three colors of staz-on combined with 91% Isopropyl alcohol.  I colored a sheet of cardstock using green and blue watercolors.  I then used my 1 inch punch to create the quirky birds from the cardstock.  Once they were punched, I laid down strips of washi tape.  I then added the circles that I turned into birds using a Zig ink pen.  Next, I applied a stencil that has increasing circles using an almost dead dye ink pad. I computer generated the words and applied the same almost dead dye ink to them.  Now all I have to do is add this to my Coll-ah-ge Two altered book.

Thanks ever so much for joining Bleubeard and me today.   We also hope to see you at Art Journal Journey with a bird inspired journal page and Try it on Tuesday with your favorite stencil(s).
