Hello and Welcome. I am glad your here today to start a new series with me. Actually this post is part 2. I began talking about Junk Journals here.
One of the pics from part 1.
In that post I shared about dyeing paper. I have dyed papers with lots of different things.
Alot of people use coffee and tea to get the vintage'y' aged look. I have not been real successful with that process it just doesn't come out the way I like.
Today I am showing you a Tag that I made to go into a Junk Journal. I think it is going in the Flower Theme Journal I am working on.
I started by layering different pieces of paper. Some are torn and some are cut. This is a hard process for me. But I love it. I think it is hard because of my quilting background. I want everything to fit and look right. But that is not really the point here. The point is just to layer up paper for a background. The paper in the center between the ledger and the green on the edge has some texture and I put some gold'ish' color wash on it to add some shimmer
Here is the finished piece. On the right is an old ledger page. I placed it where the 161 was at the top of the tag. I just thought it looked cool. I wanted a better pic of the 'Dream' so you could see it better. I will add another pic later. It is sitting on an additional layered surface. I also added lace. The paper it is sitting in is wrapped with gold and white 'eyelash' trim.
A close up of the chipboard flowers I added. In hind sight I might should have put lace under them to add interest. I might go back and change it.
I left the back of the tag just plan but I added a little envelope that has a space for a little note. I'll add a closure to it. Still thinking on that.
For the rest of this week I'll be hopefully sharing two posts each day. I have a book series that I promised to promote that I need to get done before the end of the month.
I think you'll enjoy it!
Have A Blessed Day!
