For the second piece in my “I’ve got a notion” series, I went with a vintage feel using elements from the sewing room.

The background is the instruction page from a pattern set. The vintage paper has such a lovely color.

I used a label rubber stamp around a spool image from a dictionary to add a notion.  I like to use this technique to harvest images from old book pages.

The printed papers are my own digital creations. I haven’t played much with that technique lately. I did take a USB thumb drive to Kinkos and have a few pages laser printed a couple years ago just to see how they’d turn out. The rose paper is one of those.

I added the lace down the side because who doesn’t love roses and lace. Once again butterflies are appearing in my art.

I hope you’ll join in with me for “I’ve got a notion” over at Art Journal Journey sometime this month.
