T Stands For Tea and Crafting

 ⁸ Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. ⁹ Those Philippians 4:8-9

Hello everyone!  I have been making an art journal page this weekend with inspiration from Art with Allison who was one of the presenters at the virtual Art Journal Muse Summit last week.  The digital sunflower and cloud and piece with the butterfly are hers.  It was free for us to use, fussy cut and color as we followed a long with her. 

This is my completed page, and I will be submitting it for Mia's Challenge at Craftlandia, and the Challenge over at Art Journal Journey, both with Autumn themes.

I began by filling the page with all the things I was thankful for.  Then I applied gesso over all of it, followed by a collage of papers. (music, book, scrap, etc.)  After that I painted with distress inks.  I painted a white doily yellow for the sun.  I fussy cut the sunflower, cloud and words and glued them on the page.  I did some splatters on the finished page.  In a few places, you can still see my handwriting under everything.  But I know it is there and for all which I am thankful to God.

One of the things I am thankful for is the change in weather.  It has been cooler and I have been able to get in some walks.  Here is a sunrise from September 24th.

Before I forget, here is my ticket for TSFT over at Altered Book Lover.

Hope you all have a blessed week.  Thanks for stopping by.  Hugs.
