Art Journaling

I thought I'd share some pages from an art journal that I'm working in.  The last photo's images are from Tumble Fish Studios at the Deviant Scraps website.  I used some of my gelli print papers in the second and third photos. I like playing in this art journal.  It's fun to experiment. Thanks for stopping by!

June Vintage Wedding ATC Swap

The June swap at the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group is a Vintage Wedding ATC swap.  I made a background paper using my gelli plate, acrylic paints, stencils and deli paper.  I applied a vintage dictionary page to the ATC base and then glued my custom background paper over it.  The marriage certificate image is from the Graphics Fairy.  The wedding couple is my maternal grandparents and may be found on the Family Weddings collage sheet.  I added the Victorian scrap heart, brass charm and lace all available at Collage Stuff.  The numbers are from the Theresa Collins Basics line also available at Collage Stuff. I almost forgot about the Tim Holtz Filmstrip Ribbon that I applied over the bride.  Thanks for stopping by!

Found Relatives Swap

At the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group, I'm hosting a Found Relatives swap for the month of May.  I'm asking that participants simply do something creative with the Tim Holtz Found Relatives.  I have many old books, so I took old book covers and covered them either vintage dictionary pages or scrapbook papers. I also used vintage ledger pages for the backgrounds.  I used paint and stencils on the backgrounds.  I had fun making these collages. Thanks for stopping by!

New Postcard

I've been making collage papers using my gel plate.  I used one of my collage papers to make a new postcard!  The woman image is from the Fabulous Faces collage sheet and she is my all time favorite woman image.  I added a few little bits digitally.  This postcard will ship with Collage Stuff orders in the next few weeks.  Thanks for stopping by!

Another journal page with a gelli print

This journal page goes with the journal page in my previous post.  I used a part of one of my gelli prints.  I like red and copper together.  This page has red and copper, mainly red.  Thanks for stopping by!

Journal Page with Gelli Print

Today I decided to use one of my new gelli prints in an art journal page.  Something new at Collage Stuff are book pages from the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics.  The pages are all very interesting - tables with numbers, equations, and more numbers.  I love numbers in backgrounds.
