When the dark shines

My walks to take my cards down to Dotty's Tea House occasionally are in the dark, now that the daylight is so short.  I must admit  that I find the light at dusk rather interesting and it makes for some fun photos.I know some of these are blurry but I snap them as I walk and I thought you would like to see them...........

I decided to "go to the dark side" with my latest art journal page. I wanted to enter the Craft barn challenge where the letter for this fortnight is U and there are some other fun challenges running too.

I chose U for universe and got spraying with my new Lindy sprays..such fun but soooo messy. I did remember to wear gloves though this time. The last time I used them my Hb though I had hurt my hands! 

 I did use a star stencil to start but it got rather covered up as I really and truly went over to the dark side in trying to create my "Universe"

I just had fun spraying...and spraying...

Such fab effect

I found an apt quote on the Internet from none other that Stephen Hawking.

and I included the "earth" on my pate of course, as per the definition, using Tim's world die cut

I also die cut some planets and stars using lots of snippets of inky mop up card.
Here  is my completed page.

and some close ups...

I wish you could see this IRL...sooo much depth and sparkle in those sprays.

I really like this quote.

I would like to enter my art journal page into the following challenges;

Pixie's snippets playground #254 my pages is made completely of inky mop up snippets.
The Craft Barn Dictionary challenge U mine is for universe
Dies are us 3/3  thankful for nature
Love to Create 1/2 #23
Deep Ocean use die cuts and/or punches

I never look down at my feet as I am forever looking out at Mother Nature in all her glory and observing and photographing how she changes season by season.....I really love being a part of this glorious universe...and I do try to stay curious..especially when the dark shines.

Thanks so much for popping by today and for the sweet comments you take the time to leave me.

Back soon,

Bye for now,
