I was inspired for my Art Journal page today by the challenge at Altered Book Lover by Elizabeth and Blue Beard which said T stands for...... Mine is a double T - T stands for Time to Try as I start on this art journal journey, which I'm loving by the way. My new passion is trying clusters too and I added one to this page.
I decided to do this in my clean journal - as opposed to my messy book altering one. I wanted to use just two inks and Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet is one of my favourite at the moment and I paired it with Speckled Egg. I used a make up brush to add my inks to the page and then used a Tim Holtz stencil for the clocks.
I have a new stamp set from Woodware Craft collection called Vintage Circles and they are just perfect with their images of clocks and butterflies. I stamped some direct to the page and others I stamped in black, coloured in and then cut them out.
I added one of my clusters to the bottom of the page. I stamped my sentiment on to some vintage fabric. I am trying to include fabrics into my mixed media. The quote at the top is from Tim Holtz Ideaology and I thought if fit perfectly with my theme.
T also stands for Tea Cake and at the moment I am making a Bara Brith - a Welsh speckled tea bread made from fruit soaked in tea. Bara Brith literally means speckled bread.
I'm adding this into the following challenges:

Lovely journal page and we both used tea to flavor our tea cakes for the T post. Happy T Day
Gorgeous layout. I love fabric and lace in mixed media. The bread both looks and sounds good. I haven’t had breaks yet. :).
That book in back of your bed looks interesting, too. Have a nice weekend. - Sharon- Foxy Stamping
