Curiosity

I've been wanting to play along with Art Journal Journey this month as it's such a fun theme 'Art for Art's Sake chosen by Chris who say's  "it's all about having fun with techniques and supplies (especially if you have some you don't use often)"

I enrolled on Marjie Kemper's online course Inventive Ink a while ago and had so much fun playing with (bright) colours, something I don't do that often, so I thought that was a great starting point for this theme.

I've used mainly Tim Holtz stamps and stencils along with a TWC Mini Daisy stencil, all of which haven't seen ink for a while.  Something a bit different and it was good to get out of the comfort zone.

    Wonderful spread, Avril. Fab colours and brilliant words! I think our fears and dreams are often in the same place, but that's just my opinion, lol. I have a stamp that says we can't be brave unxless we face what we're scared of and I think that's so true!

    Great stencilling and superb colour choices

    Nice journal spread Avril. I like how you added the quote and the butterfly in black ink. They really jump off the page. Hope it isn't too hot where you are. Hugs-Erika

    Your choice of colors give me India feeling. I like how your small flowers dance loose around your image. The quotes are also very good. Wonderful composition.
    Happy weekend.

    I apologize for taking so long to check out this incredible, bright, and happy journal page. Not only is it delightful, sharing it with us at Art Journal Journey makes it equally so. I adore the various layers you used, too.

    It’s a colorful artsy page. Have never tried anything like this. But one day, when I feel I’m in control of my Christmas card stash, I’m planning to give it a go:)
