Hey and hello!
Wanted to pop in and share this art journal page I made yesterday with a HEAP of FISKARS scraps and left overs from other projects.. I keep all my scraps in a lidded bin.. and just delve in every now and then.
As a result of this.. I really cant tell you each and every paper and product I used.. as most of the packaging wasnt there..LOL
besides lots of bits and pieces from Heidi Grace...( including stickers, chipboard shapes, patterned papers, and the Cloud 9 foil trimmed alphas)... I also used the fabulous eyelet setters which punched holes in the cardboard like butter! as well as some masking tape and a set of oil pastels.
(The cardboard was from a new business shirt insert.:)
and this is the finished page:
cute huh?
I sealed the whole page with a good srpray of cheap hairspray. ( it helps set the oil pastels..)
Why not give an art journal a try yourself?
it is fun .. and messy .. and a great way of using all those wee scraps you just couldnt throw out...
An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one.
