Good afternoon, well what a change in the weather! Even this morning it was pleasantly warm and sunny if a little breezy in the garden...now it's not! Pleasantly warm or sunny that is! So I'm indoors, and not really wanting to settle to anything. I've done a little colouring and am thinking about continuing with the rag doll I started to make yesterday...well I cut out the pattern but that's as far as I've got, too lazy to iron the calico or get the sewing machine out. ...
Anyway, I thought I'd share this journal page with you, inspired by the Library Challenge and 'The Girl on the Train' book cover. I used various stamps, really love the Inkylicious face stamp, it always stamps so beautifully! I did a bit of doodling, sloshed on black paint used some stencils and texture paste... intended to heat emboss the white sentiment stamp but had a bit of a disaster with the EP sticking where I didn't want it, so brushed it all off and drew over the versamarked text with a white pencil- not a complete success but it's ok, it's my journal and I can do what I like!! I finished by flicking some white gesso over the black area using a fan brush (fun!)
I think I might finish reading my book now- trying to ration myself a bit as I'm down to my last library book and goodness knows when they will reopen! Fortunately I still have a pile of hoarded paperbacks so they'll last for a while.
Thanks for visiting
Chris

Fabulous black and white page with that pop of colour and lots of texture
Well, this is a totally supriise to me, I did not realise that you had a dark side to you. It is a lovely journal page and especially like the sloshed on black paint (lol). From the sound of an easy-peasy creation???
Get a Kindle. I have had loads of fab, free books from Book Bub.

Wonderful journal page, Chris. I wouldn't know where to start to make something like this. I loved your description of sloshing on the black paint! LOL!! xx
Beautiful. Lovely journal and style and most interesting one here. Hope you had a lovely Mother's Day. ♥
This is so great Chris.
Love the black and white colours
That journal page is wonderful. I want to blame the weather for not having any energy to do anything today either.
Gorgeous art journal spread! LOVE all the layers and your image is awesome!! Thanks for joining us at Try it on Tuesday! ((HUGS)) Helen
A fabulous journal page, and the colours make it so dramatic. Well done. And thanks so much for joining us at TIOT, Valerie
This is stunning Chris and I love that face stamp too. Good luck with the rag doll! Michelle x
Wow! What a fabulous dramatic page! Thank you so much for joining us at Try It On Tuesday! I found that book enthralling but although I enjoyed the following film it didn't have quite the same effect! Hope you can make your books last! Chrisx
Oh that is just gorgeous, very interesting to look at Chris. I daren't stray to anything else other than paper crafts or it would just be another unfinished project. The weather here is freezing, seriously cold enough to snow but in the sun it is boiling! Weird!!
Wow Chris what a fabulous Journal page you have created love all the layers. Hope you get to show us your rag doll when you get it finished .
Hope all is well you you.

That stamp is something else Chris, wow its a stunning page it really is.
Weather up and down again, and you sound just like me, can't be bothered getting the sewing machine out, can't be bothered crafting as such, its all very odd, haha...enjoy today whatever you do.xx
This is fabulous! Love the result of the flicking - gives a creative, artsy look to your journal!
I do hope the library won’t be issuing any fines for late book returns! I have been getting my top up of books from Waterstones. If you spend £20 it is post free. Love your lay out here. Like Babs above hope we get to see your rag doll. Hugs Mrs A.
This is a perfect take on the cover and everywhere I look on it, I see a new, fabulous detail. Thanks for joining The Library.
