Things With Wings Journal

Good morning everyone. Welcome to another challenge by Little Miss Muffet Stamps. Today's challenge - #18 Winged Things. That could be fairies, birds, bees, dragon flies, or like I chose, butterflies. I was reminded of a verse I have on a little ceramic charm box about butterflies and happiness, so that became my theme.

This Kaitlyn image, just screams "happiness" to me, so how perfect to go with the phrase.

I had to incorporate flowers and swirls ( I chose flourishes) for the Allsorts Challenge - Week #120. P is for Pastels at the Alphabet Challenge Blog. As well, I coloured my Kaitlyn's dress in purples for Make It Colourful's - #34 Make it Purple challenge. Last, but not least this qualifies for the Quirky Crafts Challenge Blog - ABC Anything but a Card Challenge #19

Jan at She's Gone Digital is having an "Art Journal Link Party". Link up your art journal from this week.

Mixed Media Details:
I Gesso'd my (5x7) journal page and let dry over night. Using water colour paints, I swirl around various colours then dried them with my Embossing hand dryer. The bottom left corner I went over with an alphabet template with Acrylic paint. I added SU flower and butterfly stamps which I coloured in using Acrylic paint and a blue ZigZag marker. Added some stamped Inkadinkadoo flourishes & butterfly then some spots and dots with random Studio G stamps. Using my Embossing dryer allowed me to dry the mediums between steps quickly to move on to the next layer. The black splatter is black Acrylic paint water downed and dripped on with a tooth brush.

Oh and I re-tried the facial detail technique with much better results, gotta love Copics!
