Art Deco Journal Page

I was so excited to hear that Altered Pages and Lost Coast Designs are partnering this month. They have fabulous stamps!!!

This is my finished journal page using the fabulous Lost Coast Designs stamp 'Art Deco Face'. I could not be happier with the results of my page!

Products used:

Journal book

Lost Coast Designs stamp

Recycled white tissue paper
Coloured inks or markers

White pen (from my stash )

black pen

Scraps of recycled wallpaper and paper

Copper paint

Steampunk gears

Tacky glue

Glue stick

Begin by stamping the gorgeous image of the 'Art Deco Face' on to white tissue paper, it stamped perfectly first time. You can see the fine detail of the image on the tissue. Let the ink dry on the tissue before adhering to the page.

Then colour the background on the journal page using inks and pens. This could also be done with paint.

Next add interest, texture, dimension to the page. Use scraps of recycled wallpaper and paper. The papers were distressed then attached with tacky glue.

Write some text on the rest of the page with a white pen, this will show under the tissue image.

Now place the Lost Coast Designs stamped image on the page, add glue stick to the surface of the page and NOT to the image as it was too delicate. Smooth the tissue image gently and leave to dry.

While the page is drying paint gear die cuts with copper and dark brown for a rusty effect. Then attach with tacky glue and let dry.

A fab and fun project thanks to
Altered Pages and Lost Coast Designs.

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!
