Jeudi Journal - Over the Hill

Is that how you feel some times - like you are 'over the hill".

My Journal page lady does not feel that at all - or does she?  That is the question.  She is actually saying she will never be over the hill because she is too tired to climb it.  I think we all feel like that at times.  Too tired to do anything.

For the background I again used Distress Inks, but this time in greens at the base of the page and blues at the top.  I began using the pads direct to paper but then filled in gaps with the blender tool.  As you can see, at the top, I used some lilac to give the appearance of a nicer evening.

Originally I was just putting some leaves down the side and a little across the top but then I decided to use the rest of the stencil and do the light rays coming from the top left hand corner.  Whilst I was looking for my stencil I found the one for the hills from Inkylicious and thought that would be perfect.  It also had a circle cut out so I just used a babywipe to lift the ink from the page to pretend to be the moon.

Although I struggle with most of the quotes I found I really enjoyed this one because I knew where I was going with it.  Will next weeks fall into the same pattern?

Erika, over at Art Journal Journey, has chosen "In the air" as her topic for this month challenge.  Well, my lady is out in the fresh air so I think it should count for inclusion.  I hope so and that my hills and moon help with the topic theme.
