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).

Those are very cute birds, and I like that they are piling up like Chinese acrobats or circus performers or something.

What a brilliant take on Matilde's theme of Birds. I just love those little birds you have created and I do like how you have placed them on your pages. Such happy faces and I love the variation in the length of legs. A great idea to have a bird convention,
