I'm in the garden

Hello happy crafters !
Titbelsoeur today gone gardening...
This is a canvas I have opened to have depth, I have added a chicken wire and a cardboard covered with gesso and dictionnary page, then I have added stamped paper and stamped the birds and the grass on to the cardboard.

Sticked flowers and drawed stems and leaves with promarker :

I stamped the grass with 3 different Distress inks :

And do you know what ? now that I am done with it, spring is really coming ! isn't that amazing ?

I have used the new stamps from :

Butterflies on my page...

Hello there, this is Titbelsoeur today sharing an art journal page with you.

First, I have distressed the page with Brushed Corduroy, then glued a very old school book page on it :

 I made my own masking tapes, stamping cogs and watches background stamps on to a piece of tape :

 and sticked them to my page, adding a piece of a used tea bag :

 A coat of gesso, then I stamped Treillis and Dots backgrounds and added brown shadows here and there with a watercolor chalk and a wet paintbrush :

 Then I stamped butterflies on to the background with water-based ink and made them a bit blur in adding some water with a paintbrush which also spread the watercolor below :

  I did the same with the central butterfly I stamped on a white paper, slightly blured and cut out :

And here is my page :

Here are the stamps I used :
Butterflies
Encyclopaedia Botanica
Treillis Background
Watches Background
Dots Background
Cogs Background
