Tuesday Morning Sketches #351

Welcome back to my weekly posting for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  You see the sketch that Patti made for us?  It's all clean and simple looking and is a fine sketch. But I turned the sketch into an art journal page.

I turned the sketch on its side and used the wavy line to make a flap.  The circle is the flower by her ear. Everything else was me having fun.  

 I recently bought this set of cats (Katzelkraft les chats russes) after admiring them on other people's crafty blogs.  So I stamped  all of the cats and colored them in the style I saw here. I drew them a simple cat tree and used them all

Please visit my fellow teammates to see what they have done with this weeks sketch.  They might have gone a bit more traditional than me. Patti is also our sponsor this week, so she might have a little prize to give away!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #347 Featuring Lacy Sunshine

Hello again!  I've had a great week.  Spring break has started for my kids and they get the rest of this week off school. We just got back from an overnight trip and I think we might take more just to keep the kids busy.  My daughter is interested in art journaling, so we have been working on some techniques together.  This week instead of making a card to follow the latest Tuesday Morning Sketch, I have an art journal page for you.

We also have Lacy Sunshine Stamps as our sponsor this week.  They have so many fun images!

I have used Mermella Steampunk Siren from Lacy Sunshine Stamps.  I was drawn to this image of the mermaid with the mechanical octopus because it reminds me of some of my favorite books.  I like steampunk and paranormal books.  One of my favorite series is steampunk paranormal.  Although the books does not have any mermaids, they do have werewolves, vampires and ghosts, as well as an "Order of the Octopus" and a mechanical octopus called an "octomaton."

Mermella does have a fishing net, but I didn't include it when I fussy cut her to go into my art journal.

You have through Sunday, April 17 to play along with this sketch.  Please visit my fellow Tuesday Morning Sketches Teammates to see what they have made to inspire you this week!

I'd like to enter my art journal into Crafting With an Attitude Challenge #14 and to Lacy Sunshine Anything Goes Biweekly challenge.  I just saw that they have some of the cutest gnomes.  I told you that I like fantasy creatures!

Art Journal Travel Box

February's Dylusions Facebook Challenge was to use ORANGE and ARROWS.  Orange isn't my favorite color, so I combined it with Bubble Gum Pink and Lemon Zest Yellow.  I don't remember where the box came from; it has been in my stash for two years or more.

Now I have a box to take to Art Chat Breakfasts! I wrote some instructions if you want to see!

Day 27 of 31 Days of Halloween

I bought this witch stamp recently and her legs, arms and heads (she came with 2) are different stamps; she can be put together like an art doll. I thought that I was going to put her on a clock and make the "witching hour" pun. Then I remembered a book that my teacher assigned me called Which Witch is Witch? I had a hard time with which and if you threw in a sandwich I would be very confused.  Which Witch has the Sandwich might have been what I really needed.

I decided to keep this art journal page in black and white, wanting to do something a bit different, and I really wanted to play along with the Dylusions Facebook Challenge. I'm not sure if that is authorized on the Smeared Ink 31 Days of Halloween Challenge, but I'll ask for forgiveness if it isn't.

If you are following Smeared Ink's 31 Days of Halloween blog hop, the side bar contains the blog roll. I am listed as "Lee" which might be good info to know if you get lost. Thanks for coming by and I will see you tomorrow!

Art Journaling

The old blog has been kind of quiet.  I thought I'd post what I made for the April Dylusions Facebook Challenge.  The rules were to use red, blue and stars.  I went big in bold in the art journal, using Dylusions paints.  Thanks for having a look.
