It's once again time to join Erika our host this month at Art Journal Journey. By now you may know her theme is RED.
For lack of a better title, I am calling this RED. Nothing else creative came to mind. I'll share a few detail shots.
I started this page with the background, where 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 stamped a home made stamp (I used three strips of red rubber, cut from excess rubber I was mounting on wood) a bit randomly on the page using two colors of red dye ink. These are good examples of cool (blue) red and a warm (orange) red. Then I found various disparate images that "read" predominately red. The word RED was computer generated and printed on red copier/printer paper.Thank you for your visit today. Bleubeard and I are overjoyed you chose to visit. It means a lot to us. We also hope to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own take on the color Red.

Yes, "Red" summarizes it well.
Hope for freedom, hope for health, for not spending money to get to Mars but fight HIV, cancer...
A strong page!
Those sets of 3 lines for your background look like they came from a homemade stamp. Did you make one? Using a flag is a great idea since I hadn't thought of that one. Red is also a good name. Sometimes they don't need really creative ones to say what they are. I like this, and I want to thank you again for joining in. It is, as I have said, appreciated. Have a nice Saturday. hugs-Erika
Perfect for the Presidents Day Weekend.
...I love the color red, but in the US red is all too often associated with gun violence.
I love this Elizabeth - the different shades look great as stripes.Great idea to add the flag! I can see you are enjoying Erika's AJJ theme as much as I am.(who knew I would like red so much?) Hugs, Chrisx
Nice work
