Kindness

Hello Friends,

Yesterday I announced that I was beginning a daily painting/art journaling challenge for the month of July. Normally I will only be posting six days a week and I would love for some other brave soul/s to join me in the challenge.

The inspiration for this page came from Journal 52, Week 27: Kindness. I started with some torn paper collage and ink sprays. I used vintage scripture word art by Little Birdie Blessings. I love the way Abby combines scripture with lovely vintage art.
I tore the scripture portion from its image (lady with sheep) and surrounded it with die cut leaves and birds created by my favourite SU punch. I punched the birds from a collage of patterned papers which I embossed. I used some extra 'wings' to crown the scripture.
This is the other vintage art by Little Birdie Blessings, using a portion of the same scripture. I coloured the leaves and flowers with Tombow water-based markers.
And here is the vintage art that originally went with the full version of the scripture. I used the negative die cut of one bird as a frame around the lamb.
In May I taught a mixed media class. Instead of tossing all of the leftover paint, I let it dry on the plastic lid palettes and then peeled it off. I collaged some of the acrylic paint skins onto my background. I also stamped randomly the word KIND and a decorative stamp by Inkadinkado. Two other touches were stenciling with my die cut negative of my leafy branch, and finger smudges of gold metallic paint.
Thanks for dropping by. I have two backgrounds started for future pages, so I will hopefully have something new to show you tomorrow.

Hugs & smiles,
Teresa

Thanks for letting me know Teresa. I love your altered art and the woman with the sheep is one of my favorite graphics. Love the little birdies you used, I have that punch. Nice work. ~ Abby

They are all very pretty. I like yours with the birds and torn out verse the best. I have not done art journaling. I like what you have done. Snoopy of Snoopy's Homemade Fun has been doing this too. I wish more people used faith for their journals. It would encourage them. Edwina Brown

I've never gotten into art journaling myself but I can appreciate it from others. Loving the birds you made from that punch! How exquisite.

Wow! I know that so much work must have gone into these projects! Wonderful mixed media look! They all definitely have a grunge look and are perfect for our challenge!

Great Bible verse for the challenge. I need to art journal everyday. I need to focus more on my prayer journal, and I really need to practice drawing, too.
