Treasure Trovember #2

I thought it was about time I got down to a bit of journalling, so I created this page for Jo's NEW challenge on Art Journal Journey, I used new stamps.
When I scanned it the colours were totally wrong, so I took a photo instead. The background is smooshed Oxides, Tumbled Glass, Antique Linen and Peacock Feathers, with some Prisma and white Gel pen. I stamped in Fallen Leaves, Warm Breeze and Acorn Versafine Clair, clear embossed. It was fun to make.
Here's a scan to show you what I mean and a close up of the various shades.
I also made some very simple little Thank Ewe cards to send out to some of the kind people who gave me presents this Christmas... I'm on a mission to clear the die cuts and scraps lying around, so that's why nothing is the same! The (rough) backgrounds are watercoloured Oxide inks.
This card has a border of triangles for the final Moo Mania & More Challenge. It's sad to see it end. I'll miss you, girls. The girls are coloured with Prismas.

Wow wonderful projects, I love that page you've made it has an awesome background and I like a lot the stamps you've used.
The thank you cards are super cute and the last card is fantastic, I love those ladies stamp. Hugs, María.
Fabulous page Cath, and I love the little cards, especially the ladies.
I love Mr. Chimp Cath. I must say I bought this stamp and have tried it a few times but never liked my finished page. Yours however, I adore. I guess I need to use stars. It looks super! And your cards are lots of fun. That dog had me smiling. Happy mid-week. Hugs-Erika

OMGosh, Cath. This is amazing. I LOVE that monkey. That is very artistic and clever. It's a fabulous journal page and a wonderful entry for Jo's theme at Art Journal Journey. THose are adorable cards, too.
Wow, that's such an amazing art journal page! I love how you layered the stamps together and the monkey looks fabulous surrounded by the stars with his amazing crown and butterfly wings 😁. I can see what you mean about the scanned and photograph colour difference, the photo seems to have captured the different colours much better. Great cards too, the Thank Ewe cards made me smile! Thanks so much for joining us at Art Journal Journey and wishing you a wonderful week! Hugs, Jo x
Its a fabulous journal page and projects Cath. You do make me smile at the fun words you find to add to your pieces. I like the monkey image you used on the journal page, he does look deep in thought.
Thank you for sharing this with Jo's theme at Art Journal Journey and good luck using up your die cuts.

If someone had bought me that stamp I would not have had a clue what to do with it. You nailed it! Love the wings, love the crown and the background is just so much fun. Can see you enjoyed creating this.

The background to the first is amazing with the stars, the letters and all these marvellously named colours.
Isn't it annoying when the scanner refuses to scan the correct colours.
I love the sheepy cards and the great girls too. Moo-Mania was a good challenge.
Your Art journal page is Amazing Cath !! I loove it, love the texture and the background you have created, and the colours are so great ! That´s a very clever idea to use little scraps and recycle them creating those wonderful thanks cards. Your last girls card is really fantastic !!
I wish you a very nice new week, and all the best for this new year, and send big hugs,
Caty

Love love LOVE the chimpanzee page - glorious background colours and fabulous layered stamping. The Acorn is a wonderful colour - I'm going to have to keep an eye out for that. I love how the chimpanzee looks so dignified despite the whimsical additions of butterfly wings and crown - a marvellous image!

What a fabulous post Cath! I love the journal page - the chimpanzee is brilliant! I love how you are using up your scraps with your lovely little cards! I'm working away at getting my scrap pile down too! Chrisx
