TIME

Hello there,

After writing my first blog post in ages yesterday, I took a look at a few challenges and I remembered how much fun they are to enter.  One that I particularly liked was the one over at 'Country View Challenges' and their theme this month is 'Time,' so I decided to make a page in my art journal.  This was a great opportunity to get out my 'Somewhere In Time' stamps and one of my new stencils from Visible Image.  

Here's the page that I've made:

I started by making a smooshed background With Aqua and Memento Sand and then I went on to stamp with the same colours.  I used a dark grey ink to create the stencilled image, then I went around it with the aqua ink.  Finally, I make some white splatters which helped to add a little contrast.  I thought about just using clock stamps and stencils but decided that this was a little different and I'm happy enough with the finished result, so I'm adding it to the challenge. 

I would also like to add this page to the challenges at:

 'Time Out Challenges.' 'Challenge 230 - Inspired By Words'  

‘Pearly Sparkles Challenge - ‘No Patterned Paper’ 

Try It On Tuesday - 'In With The New'   New Stencil

 Enjoy your day xx
