Time Marches On

 

  March is rolling in tomorrow and I for one am so happy to be through the worst of the winter months! Yes, it is very cold here but the sun will be shining all week so I hope to see things budding. 

 Anyone celebrating Mardi Gras? Obviously I don't because I all but forgot about it again this year so there's no fun Mardi Gras art to share. However, I do have art projects for blog challenges.

 First up today is a tag I made for Tag Tuesday (theme is Bingo/Numbers):

 

 Happily I remembered I had this very old unmounted Bingo card stamp I had gotten at a stamp convention years ago. Glad I held onto this one. It was stamped several times on the tag using black Archival ink. The background was done with Vintage Photo, Faded Jeans, and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide inks. I added Tim Holtz Paper Dolls and Small Talk Menus sticker along with washi tape(Recollections) and vintage rick rack.

 This journal page was created with Try It On Tuesday in mind with the theme of  "Add Some Texture", and I will also join in for the last day of the theme "What's Your Style" at Art Journal Journey:

First some torn Dina Wakley Collage paper was glued to the top right, then modeling paste was applied to the top right using Dina Wakley Favorites stencil. After it dried I applied Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays(Night, Cheddar) with a wet brush. Tim Holtz Paper Dolls and Small Talk Menus sticker over a  burlap scrap and thread.

 Speaking of Tuesday- here is my ticket for T Stands For Tuesday this week:

 

 Cherry Chocolate Chip scone anyone? Coffee is my choice and I switched out my mug to a Celtic Scottish thistle mug in preparation for St. Patrick's Day 💚. Cheers!

 This journal page is meant for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge (use at least one stencil):

 The paper with the tissue paper leaf applied (Dina Wakley Elements set) was actually an under paper but just as I saw it with fresh eyes I saw a landscape scene, and there you have it:). I stenciled the page first using Orchid paint and the Connected Dots stencil, then I used Syrup paint through the Stacked Cubes stencil. Torn bit of Just Words Collage tissue went down next, then a scrap of Collage Collective paper. The fabric piece was a scrap sitting on my table which I stitched with the focal piece. And the quote is from Typed Ledgers papers set 1. All Dina Wakley products. 

And one more art journal page I recently shared on Instagram:

 This page is what came to mind during a very dreary, cold, rainy day along with hearing the devastating news regarding Ukraine crisis. The muted tones and words reflected my thoughts. I used all Dina Wakley products.

 Of course all my pages in this post could link to Art Journal Journey because mixed media collage journaling is truly my style. Thank you dear Bleubeard and Elizabeth for a great theme!

 Joining along with Paint Party Friday too😄. Wishing you all a fantastic week!
