Wings and Stripes

Hello Everyone. How lovely that you visited Jumbled Crafts today and a thank you for your support which is always encouraging.


At Three Muses this week the theme is Stripes. Always amazing artwork from the people who join in.


Mine is all things I have had in folders for a long time and a few digital paint brushes I made to use on all sorts of things.

At Art Journal Journey we still have Things with Wings and it is wonderful that so many people are enjoying the theme and that I am enjoying visiting all of them as hostess for March. I would like also to enter this at Mixed Media World




 I started out with a 5inches x 7inchies piece of gloss photo paper. Then I made drops of alcohol ink and blew them here and there with a straw--great fun I can tell you. Be sure to have some scrap paper underneath though.



Whilst it was drying I printed, onto a book page, some digital images from With Wild Abandon. Then I cut them out and stuck them onto the card. Last but not least I stamped a couple of Chocolate Baroque images to fill in the gaps. This is a page in the journal that Valerie sent to me.


Have a wonderful day

Love Chrissie xx

    So sorry for missing out on so many wonderful posts here Chrissie, but we spent an unexpected week in Valencia at Las Fallas, celebrating my DH's birthday ;-) You have been so creative as usual, your cards and creations are always such a treat and a real pleasure to look at! Sending hugs, Ira xox

    Love your stripes, Chrissie, and you've made me want to 'have a go' with the inks too.

    Printing onto a book page is a brilliant idea.
    Your ink background must have been fun to create.
    Both things you created are lovely Chrissie.

    The candy box stripes are such fun, but it's the winged page that's got me hooked. Fantastic blown background, and the book page-printed images look magnificent. I can see I'm going to have to check them out - thanks for the link!

Tag and Journal page design

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery.
