Just a couple of pages to show you today:
The first was from a vintage ad that had this woman along with the words:
“How happy can a chubby girl be?” It was an ad for clothing. I don’t think the manufacturer would dare to run an ad like that today.
This page is a simple one made with tape from TapeSwell and Michael’s. In order to add the black charcoal I had to paint the tape with clear gesso. Once the gesso dried I added the smudged charcoal and set it with Krylon Fixative so it wouldn’t rub off.
The flowers were some extra die cuts I had leftover from another project. Now when I look at them, they seem to need some definition.
Thanks for reading.
Hi, Linda! Never would have thought to use charcoal on a journal page, but you got excellent results! Very creative! And so smart to use a fixative, too!
ReplyDeleteAnd I like the vintage sepia tone you used with your vintage layout! Nice! :-)
