It's A Kind of Magic Art Journal Page

I finally finished my page in response to the April challenge over on Mission Inspiration having started it towards the beginning of the month.  The theme given was 'It’s a Kind of Magic – is it hocus pocus or unicorns and fairies?'  The suggested colours were electric blue, fairy rose and mystical green and the techniques to use were scribbles, inks, lettering, flake and foil and foreign languages.

Magnificent Machines - An Art Journal Page

I am really enjoying keeping up with the monthly challenges over on Mission Inspiration.  This month's prompt was Magnificent Machines – cogs, gears, pistons, engines, levers & gadgets. The suggested colours were Berry Red, Cerulean Blue and Copper. The prompt techniques, to be included in any order were handwritten text, frame or border, fabric scraps, metallic paints, and book text. 

Silhouette Art Journal Page

I am keeping up with the monthly missions over on Mission Inspiration as you can see.  The theme for this month is Silhouette.  The suggested colours are Royal Blue, Salmon Pink and Steel Grey and the techniques, in no particular order are Ink, Tissue Paper, Circles, Numbers and Make marks.

A Fantasy Art Journal Page: Still I Rise

I am determined this year to complete the challenges over on Mission Inspiration before the end of each month, so here is January's contribution.  The theme given was 'Fantasy – Imagining the Impossible or Improbable Things'.  Anyone experiencing 2020 might feel that it is improbable we will ever get over it, but I feel hope.

Winter Wonderland Art Journal Page

For once I actually finished all the main missions over on Mission Inspiration before the end of the year.  I completed a journal page following the December prompts on the 29th.  The main prompt was Winter Wonderland, the colours Frosty Blue, Winter Purple and Silver Bells and additional prompts were Trees, Bells, Frost, Snow and Stars.  As you can see I focussed on trees and snow.

Flying High: An Art Journal Page

I am behind with my art journaling following the monthly prompts on Mission Inspiration.  I hope to have caught up with the final page for 2020 by the time that the January prompt is published next year.  This follows November's prompts.  The theme was Flying High, the colours Sky Blue, Cloudy Grey and Sunset Salmon and the prompt words Soar, Wings, Fly, Balloon and Feather.

Autumn Leaves: An Art Journal Page

I made this journal spread last year for a challenge over on Junk Journals and Mindful Mixed Media Art .  I feel that it fits one of the October Missions over on Mission Inspiration so decided to share it again.  The theme was Autumn Leaves, the suggested colours red, orange and yellow and the prompt words Leaves, Acorns, Sunset, Wind and Rain. 

Steampunk Journal Page

I seem to be permanently a month behind with the Mission Inspiration main missions.  This follows the September Steampunk theme and prompts.  The colours were Navy, Crimson and Sage and the choice of words was Gears, Invention, Clockwork, Mesh and Patina.

Quarantine Quickies #99 & #100: Basket Case / Carpe Diem

I finally finished the first 100 Quarantine Quickie prompts from Mission Inspiration.  Although there are another 50, I decided to stop here.

Travel and Transport Journal Page

I am still a little behind with my art journal challenges with Mission Inspiration.  This is my response to the August main mission with the theme of Travel and Transport.  The suggested colours were  Earth Brown, Sky Blue and Daffodil Yellow and the prompt words were Flight, Tracks, Map, Destination and World.

Quarantine Quickie 97 & 98: Wind Up / Mirror, Mirror

It took me a while, but I finally finished the first 100 Quarantine Quickie prompts over on Mission Inspiration.  I decided to call it a day at that point even though the prompts have continued.  Here is my penultimate set.

Under the sea Journal Page

Having only recently caught up with the main June Mission over on Mission Inspiration, decided not to leave it so long before catching up with the July prompts.  The colours suggested were Coral / Ocean / Sand and the choice of prompt words were Wreck / Reef / Tails / Dive / Treasure. 

Grunge Journal Page

It seems ages since I joined in with one of the monthly challenges over on Mission Inspiration, despite my many Quarantine Quickie tags.  This page follows the June prompts.  The theme was Grunge It Up, the suggested colours Brown, Burnt Orange and Patina Green and the suggested prompt words were Distressed, Rustic, Decaying, Shabby and Neglected.

Quarantine Quickies #95 & #96: Arm Candy / Message in a Bottle

Only four more tags to complete to respond to the first 100 quarantine Quickie prompts over on Mission Inspiration.  I have decided to stop at that point.  I have had such fun playing though.

Quarantine Quickies #93 & #94: Celestial Body / Fur Baby

The latest instalment towards 100 tags, following the prompts on Mission Inspiration.  I found the perfect paper towel mop up sheets on my pile to use as backgrounds for these.

Quarantine Quickies #91 & #92: Hole in One/ Spider's Web

I can't believe that it is five years today since I started this blog.  For the first couple of years, my posts were a little sporadic, but I have been posting daily now for over three years and thoroughly enjoy being part of a wider community.  2020 seems to be the year of the tag for me, so it is only fitting that I share two more today.
I always seem to find the perfect background paper on my inky pile for these tags.  I am following the first 100 quarantine Quickie prompts over on Mission Inspiration.

Quarantine Quickies #89 & #90: All Systems Go / Pearly Gates

I haven't used my Cricut Expression machine for a while, but it came in handy for the second of my latest set of tags in the Quarantine Quickie series, following the prompts over on Mission Inspiration.  Only 10 more to share after these!

Quarantine Quickies #87 & #88: Tie Dye / Aide Memoire

I am getting ever closer to my target of making tags in response to the first 100 prompts over on Mission Inspiration.  Two real quickies today and I even used up some of my stash of Washi tape!

Quarantine Quickies #85 & #86: Rose Garden / Do It Yourself

Still taking my time to interpret the first 100 Quarantine Quickie prompts over on Mission Inspiration.

Quarantine Quickies #83 & #84: Sunrise, Sunset / Winging It

Another two pages in my tag journal of Quarantine Quickies, following the first 100 prompts over on Mission Inspiration.  Probably the quickest pair of tags I have made in the series so far, thanks to my inky backgrounds pile.
