Spring Forward

 

I want to begin by thanking everyone who created a journal or altered book page at Art Journal Journey (AJJ) in February.  Although I only had a couple of days in which I could leave comments, I tried to reach everyone I possibly could.

This month we are asked to Spring Forward by our dear friend Chris, this month's host, whose blog is PearShapedCrafting.  This is my first entry for March.  Details are below.
 



 
I began by using one of my favorite stencils, gifted me several years ago by Mia. I used brown dye ink to cover this 5.5 X 8.5 inch (13.97 X 21.59 centimeter) page which is on 110 lb. cardstock. The grass and sky were created with watercolor pencils and the birds, butterflies, and flowers were all stickers I had in my stash.
 
Please remember we welcome art journal pages that meet the theme requirements, altered book pages, canvases, loose, or stand alone pages including fabric and digital art.  I (and the administrators) cannot leave comments on Facebook, TicTok, or Instagram entries.  We do not allow cards!!!  Period! We also don't allow tags, index cards, ATCs, or ATCoins, unless they are part of a journal page, and as much as we don't want to, will be forced to delete your entry.  Please remember if your blog is not in English, we ask that you translate it for us since the translation tool doesn't work on some blogs, including mine.  Finally, we do not allow back-links to any journal page published prior to the start date of this month's challenge. Hope to see you and your Spring Forward inspired art soon at Art Journal Journey.
 
Thank you beyond belief for visiting today. Bleubeard and I would love to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of Spring Forward

I love this page Elizabeth. It is reassuring that spring and flowers will come, just not today. (We have some light snow-augh!) I love the brick wall background you created too. And in another month the hummingbirds will return...I can't wait. This is a wonderful way to start the new month. Hope yours starts off well also. hugs-Erika

Oh wow Elizabeth! I loves those fabulous flowers against your brilliant brick wall! I may get to see butterflies but very envious of those that get to see humming birds. Spring is surely on its way with your beautiful page especially for my ‘Spring Forward’ theme at AJJ! Hugs, Chrisx

A beautiful start to a new month Elizabeth, how wonderful those birds are hovering over those marvellous blooms. So glad to see you have been able to leave comments, fingers crossed March is a little less frustrating for you. Happy crafting Tracey x
