It's another Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge and this week we are making our own backgrounds! I decided to do a journal spread, which turned out like so:
I tore my collage into pieces and glued those pieces into my Art by Marlene 4" x 4" journal.
Next I painted around the edges to get some other colors into the mix.
After that dried, I decided to try out Dina Wakley's new Squared Up stamp set. I stamped two of those images onto my pages.
Next I used some AALL & Create black text washi tape. I stuck it to paper then punched some holes out of it. I used the negative shape on one half of the spread and the polka dots on the other half.
I didn't really like how it was looking at this point, so I decided to add some blue and cover up some parts I had done. I used Dina Wakley's Old School Style Alpha stencil and some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide on some scrap paper, which I then tore up and glued to my pages.
I used paint again to blend everything together and added some polka dot paper scraps I had. I also stuck on some Tim Holtz fabric tape. I scribbled around with pencil and with Distress Watercolor pencils. I found this great quote from Dina Wakley's Ledger Paper and glued that on top as the final component of this spread.
