Random

 

I am once again joining Erika our host this month at Art Journal Journey.  As you may know by now, she asks that we use the color red as the predominant color in our art.

Random.  Disparate.  Unrelated.  That definitely describes today's entry.  Let me break it down for you.

Look closely and you will notice a postage stamp showing the governor of Puerto Rico, who served from 1948 to 1964.  That means this is a very old postage stamp.  It also means I can join Nicole and her Friday Face Off. 

 

I'm a tad late for Valentine's Day, but early for the flowers I have included.  I also have another face for Friday Face Off, even if it's a cartoon face.

I'm either late or early for Santa, depending on your perspective, but it's another Friday Face Off face!  The red rectangle under the letter M is supposed to read Bloom.  The one to the right of the flowers and flip flops reads Journey.

Tulips will soon be in bloom, and that adorable bird also has a Friday Face Off face.

All these images, whether winter, spring, or summer (see the July 4th inspired images?) live up to the title of RANDOM.

For the background, I mixed a red Staz-on reinker with 91% isopropyl alcohol, then spread it on the white 110 lb cardstock using a makeup sponge.  Once dry, I grabbed my alphabet stencil and wrote the word Random slightly off center of the journal page using a red gel pen.  Stickers, stickers, stickers, stickers were placed randomly on the page after I added (glued) parts of a sheet of red (with yellow stars) wrapping paper.

Thank you for your visit today.  Bleubeard and I are delighted you chose to visit.  It means more than you know.  We will also be hanging out at Art Journal Journey today and Friday Face Off tonight, so we hope to see you at these blogs, too.
