 Hello Creatives 

Delighted to be invited to be Guest Designer for 

Try it on Tuesday and a real pleasure to create a 

project for their Fortnightly challenge theme. 

Over the next two weeks their theme is *Fantasy* 

The Try it on Tuesday Design Team explain all HERE 

My project is a Fantasy Forest journal page with the background 

sketched, painted with watercolour overlaid with coloured pencils. 

Dots of acrylic paints create a woodland carpet of wildflowers...

The Fairy is taken from a colouring book coloured with pencil 

cut then pasted onto my journal page. To complete my Fantasy 

project I added mystical orbs dancing around the woodland Fai...

Do pop on over HERE to see what the 

Try it on Tuesday Design Team have created to inspire you

It's a.. Beautiful day...

 Hello everyone,  

I was blessed to have some free time this week 

so therapeutic to have a creative play day.. 

This journal background is made up of torn scraps, napkins 

and a spotty glassine bag painted, dotted and doodled 

all edged with machine stitch. 

The centre piece I'd intended to be a book mark but the painted blues 

of the stamped blue tit and coffee cup blended so well with the page.

 

All reminding me of the song Beautiful day by U2 

about finding joy in the small things in life. 

The focal bird brought to life the line 

*And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth

After the flood all the colors came out*

Definitely a beautiful day.. Bird Song a cuppa and crafting.. 

Stay safe and creative Hugs Tracey xx

Mixed Media April Challenge ~ Creative Artiste #92

Hello creative friends 

Time again to welcome you ALL to 

Creative Artiste April Challenge #92 

our theme is ALWAYS *Anything Mixed Media Goes* 

My April project is a mix of left over paint and paste scrapings, 

stamps and doodles, recycled packaging, fibers and plant waste. 

The glitter paste mosaic circle holds a rainbow of watercolour as 

washes of colour seep into the unprimed areas of my journal page. 

Acrylic leaves and flowers painted on cereal box waste are fussy 

cut all given a doodled edge then glued down to frame the pages.

Finished with a stamped and coloured funky fossil bunny 

peeping out from the long grasses created using leftover die cuts, 

fibres and cuttings from salvaged and pressed house plant leaves. 

If you love mixing your media why not share your own creations 

and join in with Creative Artiste's April #92 Challenge 

remember *ANYTHING Mixed Media Goes*

Whatever you are all up to this weekend

I wish you all a Happy HAPPY Easter 

Stay Safe and Keep Creative 

Hugs Tracey xx

Art Journal Journey ~ Recycle, Reuses, Repurpose 

Just Junk Journaling...

 Hello creative friends, 

Already a week passes into March as I continue recycling packaging and 

using scraps to make pocket sized Junk Journals to create in each month. 

Here's March's JJ covered with rice paper and stamped flowers 

painted in Spring time colours and very simply embellished... 

Inside a page for Valerie's Spring Theme @ Art Journal Journey 

with a Tim Holtz die cut and watercoloured bird resembling the 

Blue Tit, she sings amid a Spring inspired textured background..

and because time didn't allow me to share last month 

here's a small selection from Februarys Junk Journal...

Paper pockets filled with layered scraps with machine stitched edges. 

Documenting my Son and his Girlfriends engagement announcement 

and some mindful doodling as the door closed on February...

Please be safe creative friends.. 

Hugs Tracey xx
