Best wishes to everyone for the New Year and thank you for your support over the past year.
I decided to make a background by scoring a piece of card at every inch then dragging a brown and green ink pad down the card from the top then turning and reapeat-quite pleased with that so stamped a couple of teasels not perfect because of the score lines but went with it.
Then stamped a few mushrooms from a Rubber Dance stampe set onto a few oddments of coloured papers and the large brown one (which when posted the pic saw it was actually floating!!!)was stamped onto one of the leaves through the bigshot that did not work,stamped Bees from Chocolate Baroque and left it because it wasn't what I envisaged!

First of all, wishing you the happiest new year in 2022, and I hope it's a better one for you and yours! I love how you created this background! Swiping the inkpad over scored lines turned out great, and I love the little honeycomb in the sides that perfectly coordinate with those little honeybees in the image! Great job on this one!
ReplyDeleteThe end results is super I really like it Carol x happy new year x

A great journal page Carol, love the colourful mushrooms - didn't notice the 'floating' one - maybe it's a magic one!
ReplyDeleteIt may not be what you envisaged, but it looks so happy.
Hope you had a good Christmas and Best Wishes for the New Year. Avril x
What a great page Carol. Love how it looks so organic with the fungi and your fabulous wood. A great start to the year! CarolG
ReplyDeleteAnd a very happy New Year to you and all of your family too.
ReplyDeleteI adore your journal page, it is simply fabulous. Your backing card is inspired - I just know that if I had tried that, I would have been far too heavy handed with the ink. All your little mushrooms are so much fun, they remind me of the Walt Disney Fantasia cartoon of dancing mushrooms.

ReplyDeleteHello Carol, and happy new year! I have finally caught up viewing and reading all your posts for the last 30(!) days. I'll never catch up entirely with everyone, but I must say you have sure made some beautiful and fabulous cards. I love the gin and lemon cake, tee hee! Also want to say I hope everything is okay as you mentioned Life has taken another turn. It does that and I wish it could be smooth sailing all the time, but doesn't work that way. We carry on. Sending hugs.
ReplyDeleteHello friend! Hoping that you're doing well! I haven't been around much lately, but just finally posted something! So if you say you haven't received updates on my blog, it's because I haven't really posted much anyway! LOL!! I saw this AJ page on FB and I just LOVE those layers of mushrooms! Very cool idea with the score marks too! I'm hoping to be getting into much more of this AJ myself this year! My MOJO is down. Wishing you a very happy and healthy New Year for 2022! HUGS
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely journal page, Carol. The mushrooms are awesome! The bees are perfect and I love the frame. Scoring the paper is a great idea. Hugs, my friend, and Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI just love how the background looks like old white boards. You're so creative. I love the mushrooms and bees, too. What a great card. Happy New Year!
