Simply RED*

 Hello Creative Friends 

Later than intended sharing this post 
Blogger did not want to post earlier in the week. 

So i'll try and share again today 😌

A page to join in with Erika's Theme *Seeing RED* 
February's delightful Host @ *Art*Journal*Journey*


I found a stamped image awaiting colour inside this old book, 
so whilst sharpening pencils when I really should have been 
tidying up the chaos on my crafty desk I decided to swatch, 
blend and colour creating different shades of red. 

There is something extremely calming about 
the feel of pencil upon old book pages... 

Wishing you all a safe creative weekend. 
Hugs Tracey xx

I'm so glad you found some art time to make this page for my challenge at AJJ Tracey. Those red flowers are just lovely.That was lucky to find an image that needed color. And I like the swatches. They're a really interesting addition to the spread. I know you've been busy and art time has been limited so I really appreciate your joining us at AJJ. Thank you.Have a wonderful rest of your week. Hugs-Erika

This is a stunning journal page, Tracey. I've not had trouble posting, BUT I have had trouble leaving comments. SO frustrating.

Your spread is amazing. I love how you used gradated colors using the pencils. This is brilliant, as is the colored image. Thanks for sharing this with us at Art Journal Journey using Erika's theme.
