The Greeting Farm are doing a 24 week challenge to create an art Journal. Each week you are given the theme. Having never attempted this craft I decided to give it a go. We are on week 5 now and here are my pages
I am making up my pages separetely and then binding them all together. This week you had to use paper piecing, texture and layers. Those gorgeous papers are K & Co, I crumpled, distress and inked them. The cardbaord was from a box that delivered some goodies yesterday. I've admired other crafter's use of this material but had never used it before myslef. I exposed the corrugated core, painted it with Claudine Helmuth Traditional Tan paint and then inked it with Brushed Corduroy DI. The raffia ribbon is from my stash.
The image is Friday Creeper form The Greeting Farm and I coloured her with Promarkers.
You can see here that her trousers and waistcoat have been paper pieced. I am entering this into the following challenges
Make it Monday - always anything goes
Stamps R Us - anything goes
Woodware USA - try a new technique
Hope you like my attempt, perhaps I'll share the other pages another time

I saw your project on Make it Monday and I am glad I did. It is really gorgeous. The textures are amazing and especially well done for using techniques you haven't done before. I think the idea of an art journal is great as well.
