Last of the warm days

 Hello, today I have a journal page using Fox and Found Studio collage sheets.

Sheets Used:

1950 bathers

Butterfly scrap

Travel ticket 

Map circles

I started by painting the background with a light purple and giving it a gray wash in the middle. I then took a stencil and some off white and put it in 3 spots on the journal page. Set aside to dry.

I then cut out some tickets from Travel ticket and a circle from the Map circles and made a cluster and glued them down. 

Next, I cut out a butterfly from Butterfly scrap and a lady from the 1950 bathers and glued the wings on the back of the lady. I then glued them into my journal. 
Lastly, I added some green and gold dots to her bathing suit. 

Foolish Mortals tag

 Good morning I'm here with a tag for you using Lost Coast Stamps.

Stamps Used:

Numbers border

Travelers set

Butterflies set 

ATC set 6

I started off with a #8 white tag and I used distress oxide spray on the background. I then stamped Numbers border on the side. 

I then stamped a ticket stamp from the Travelers set on the bottom. Next, I stamped a butterfly from the Butterflies set on white cardstock and cut out. I found a paperdoll and added the wings to the back and glued him to the bottom of the tag. 

Lastly, I stamped randomly text from ATC set 6 in the same distress ink all over the background. Added a saying and ribbon and we are done. 

You can join the challenge here. 

Journal Page

 Hello and Goodmorning. Today I have a journal page for you today and I'm using Fox and Found Studio collage sheets. 

Antique document tape strips

Butterfly

Big blooms

Vintage teacups

Vintage bingo

Victorian cabinet card

This was a fun one to make. I took the Antique document tape strips and glued them down with collage medium and then I used distress crayons to add color to the background.

I then took the Butterfly, Big blooms, Vintage teacups, Vintage bingo, Victorian cabinet card and cut out the images. I then glued them as you see on my journal page. 

I colored the Vintage teacups with some blue on top then I cut a slit in the cup and added my Victorian fairy to the cup. Lastly, I added crackle medium to the teacup and when it was dry I watered down a drown distress crayon to make the cracks visible.

Hello all I have some Magickal card starters for you today. The stamps are all from Lavinia Stamps. They are a stamp company from the UK. I get my stamps from Topflight stamps or Lavinia world.

The first 2 are done on watercolor paper and using Distress Oxide sprays and Distress Spray stains for the background.

 This last one was with Distress Oxide pads for the background.

 On the Lavinia FB group someone changed there card they made with a filter to monochrome. So I wanted to give it a try. That is what this last one is.
