My Collage Journal continued...

Hi everyone, 

Here are a couple more pages from my Collage Journal. I'm using a Canson XL Mix Media Journal that has 98 lb paper in it. 

For this page I actually came across the quote first. This big head was on the back page of my magazine and I really liked her eye makeup, something about it made her look fierce. I coloured her lips a bright red and fussy-cut some flowers to stick on her head. I used zebra striped washi tape on the border and really liked the way it matched the black and white flowers. The star stencil is from Simon Says Stamp.

This "butterfly girl" has a different head and body plus I gave her some wings. 

The background is painted with gold acrylic paint I got at Michaels and I used a black Sharpie to write the quote. I really like how it looks like she is holding the butterfly. The washi tape came in my Simon Says Stamp card kit.

My Collage Journal

Hello everyone,

I started a collage journal after watching some amazing art journal videos on Youtube. I have been having a great time playing around with various images from magazines. It's definitely a step outta my comfort zone but I'm glad I decided to start.

Here are some of my pages so far:

This is the very first page that I made. I used Dylusions Ink on the background and gesso through a Dylusions flower stencil. I attached the big pink flower poofy thing to the girl's head with some ribbon to hide the seam.

2nd page is a girl in a yoga pose with a one-eyed sunflower face. The background was originally green and yellow but I thought that it clashed too much with my image so I gessoed it. I wasn't too happy with it honestly but after stencils and stamps I kinda liked it a little better.

3rd page of my journal. The girl is made up of a different head, body and legs. I used pink Dylusions on the background and used a star stencil from Simon Says Stamp with Distress Ink and a blender. She's sitting on a "chair" made of lipsticks.

Talk to ya soon xx
