Green May Art Journal Page

Hello crafters! It is a new week! We went from cold spring to something like summer in just a week and the world has turned green. I love all the bright shades of green during spring and early summer and today's project is inspired by that.

We have an Let's Art Journal theme at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog this week. I hope you will join us! If you haven't tried art journaling before, give it a try. It is lots of fun. 

Don't miss the gorgeous project by our May guest designer Wanda Hentges.

My art journal page has lots of shades of green and yellow, with a bit of grey. I used a mix of images and words which I thought fit for the theme. The page was done in the Square Ledger Journal, on a dot ledger page. The size of the pages are 8x8 in. I love ledger paper. You could also make a smaller version of the project and turn it into a card.

Start by applying Distress Ink with an ink-blending tool through Tim Holtz new Labels stencil. I use Simon Says Stamp Very Very Low Tack Tape to hold down the stencil. Move the stencil and complete the rest of the page.

I stamped a flower in the middle with Fairway Pawsitively Saturated Ink. The letters were die cut with Tim Holtz Vault World Travel from left-over inky paper.

For some texture, the background was stamped with Simon Says Stamp Stained Glass and Watering Can ink.

Originally, I stamped this sentiment right on the background, but messed up and stamped it upside down! I stamped it again on the same paper as used for the wheel and inked it. The birds come from Tim Holtz Mini Ornates.

Stamping various sentiments on an art journal page is a favorite thing of mine. This one is from Impression Obsession Pooh Easter Joy

Spring-time means bike rides. The bike comes from Tim Holtz Purely Random

This view master reel is very versatile. Add small photos or small stamped images, use it as a background, make a circle card and more.

The first butterflies of the year are here now and had to appear on the page too.

The Vault World Travel set comes with a full alphabet and numbers, with perfectly-sized letters, especially for cardmaking.

Alcohol ink on acetate makes for an interesting look to the little windows.
