this week i just grabbed a handfull of patterned papers and had fun punching out different sized circles from them. i have also discovered Collage Pauge. i really like using this adhesive a thousand times better than a gluestick for my collage journal. added some of my new stamps and finished the page with some viva decor pearl pen dots.
supplies used:
- A4 moleskine journal
- assorted patterned papers
- 1 1/2", 1 3/8", 1 1/8", 1" & 1/4" circle punches
- "empowered words" stamp set
- "i am an artist" stamp set
- dove gray stazon
- weathered wood distress ink
- viva decor pearl pen - kiwi
This is so beautiful. You are such an inspiration to me. Every monday and wednesday I go pacing around waiting for your wonderful projects turning up on your blog. Thanks for the inspiration! :-)
