It suddenly occurred to me, late in the month, that I have lots of stamps with lots of script on them. Most of them typed script, and so I set about looking for a stamp or stamps I could use to make a page for my theme at Art Journal Journey.
Straight away I went to my drawer with Tracy's stamps in for Aall & Create and found two with butterflies on which I could use. Well, one is half of a butterfly. (Through the Meadows and Seeds of Hope for the half butterfly). So I began stamping on a found brayered page in my square Dylusion Journal.
I told you I could only brayer when under supervision, and I think this was one done with Kate Crane. Well, it certainly does not look like one I produced myself, I am normally a lot heavier handed and don't get such a muted look.
I used one of Tracy's number stamps, not having a clue what I had used for the background I guessed that Picked Raspberry DO would look fine and it matched quite well. There are numbers top right and bottom left. Then I stamped the two chosen stamps and stamped them again on a piece of white cardstock. I cut out the circles with most 'type' in them and adhered them on top of the Journal stamped ones,
I noticed on the half butterfly on the left stamp that the postmarks were repeated from the other stamp but slightly larger so I cut those out too and adhered them on top of the small ones, bottom right. Such a pity that my Glossy Accents is empty or I would have put some on some of the circles. Perhaps I will do that later when I get a new one.
To finish off I coloured my two main butterflies one with Picked Raspberry and the other with Scattered Straw, both to echo the colours in the background rather than actual butterfly colours. Then I just stuck them down in the centre where the body is so that the wings can be lifted up and you can see the other image below.
So here we are, another page for my theme at Art Journal Journey. I just hope I have not gone overboard with the number of posts but I have been enjoying myself.
