for the love of printed tissue paper!
for the base of this page i glued down some preprinted 7gypsies frames tissue paper. then i just began digging in my stash of stamps and stamping a different quote inside each frame...happy place!
i punched a red heart, stamped inside of it and went crazy with the black india ink. the ink takes drippage to a whole new level!
i finished it off with some vintage photo distress ink and i love it!
play with ink in your journal this week, drip it, smear it, splatter it or write with it...just have fun!
saying that i love it doesn't even get close to the feeling looking at this awakes in me!
you already converted me to art journaling, i'm ready for collage now! thank you, so much :)))

Love the boldness of this piece! The ink drips make it so interesting- it really gives the eye a place to focus!

Hey Donna,
I've been following your blog for a few weeks now and I absolutely love the work in your journal. I too have a passion for printed tissue and picked up some amazing ones at Version Scrap last year. I see that you will be there this year so I hope to meet you in person.

I downloaded Canvas Create last night. It has been sooooooo hard to stay at work today knowing I could be in my Craft Room with you, instead. See you soon.

I'm really glad you started collage Mondays. You do all kinds of things that I just go "Why didn't I think of that?" I saw this tissue paper before, and even though it attracted me it never occurred to me to put words in the frames! You sure inspire me! Thanks again.
