Ah Amor!

Hello! This is my last post for a bit as I'm having hand surgery.
This month we are all about LOVE making the world go around and I'm recently into journaling. So... Today I have some Amor themed journal tags to show you.



SUPPLIES:
Paper (Sabor Amor)
Acrylic Paint
Tags
Adhesive
Serviette paper
Ribbon and lace
Jewel or Gem embellishment



These are the items I started with, I used most and added some more!
I started by painting the tags with acrylic paint. Just in a random way using a light color for the base.
Added some more coordinating colors in random patterns and used a white acrylic, watered down for my splatter pattern.
I used pieces of the vellum serviette round behind my images. Then I used some textured green paper from my stash to add some visual interest in a coordinating color. Glued some lace to the bottom edge.



I use a watered down acrylic to paint the back of the tag then I paste some of the journal tags from the paper and adhere them to the back of my tag so they can be written on. Put some ribbon in the hole at the top of the tag for easy removal from journal pocket and use a bit more acrylic paint around the edge of the tag to give it a more finished look.

I hope to be back soon, ENJOY your Brand New Year!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
