Tim Holtz Journal page

 

Good Monday Morning Ladies, 

Welcome to the start of a new week,  this week looks a little wet and cooler.   The garden will appreciate the rain I guess.  

We had a busy day in the garden,  we had about 80 bulbs to plant,  I filled pots with a lot of them, Paul put the rest in the garden.  We bought a load more from the garden centre on Friday as they packs/bags of bulbs were all reduced to half price! Even Paul got carried away with picking some out. 🤣😂

We managed to get them all put in, such a relief or so I thought,  when I came in to get ready for lunch I found another bag of bulbs that had fallen off of the box that I had put them on, so they where out of site. So now I need to get a contrasting colour to go with them and I'll put them in pots of the front. 

Today I am sharing a journal page that I made using all Tim Holtz /Ranger things.  

I blended Faded Jeans & Stormy Sky Distress Oxide inks over my journal page.  Using Typo stencil I added lettering with Vintage Photo oxide ink

I then took the Diamond stencil and used a baby wipe to 'faux bleach' some of the background.  I added some stamping around the edges and then added some black splatters with a Posca pen.  

Next came arranging some Collage Strips,  I cut bits from a few different ones, following inspiration from Vicky Papaicannou.....

The final touches I wasn't sure about if I'm honest but after searching through the bag of paper dolls to find the right one I just trusted the process !  

I picked out the Transparent Butterfly and added it to the page, I used permanent tape for this as I thought wet glue would never dry.  

As always a few white splatters and some sentiment strips finish the page!  I really like this one!  

I hope that you all have a great start to your week, 

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra xxx
