Over the weekend I decided to dig deep into my supplies for a bit of “use it or lose it” type of editing. Not surprisingly my inner art supply hoarder found use for these items so I wouldn’t be able to justify getting rid of them.
I used torn bits of scrapbook papers, book page, mod podge, craft and distress paints, glimmer mists, fine glitter and embossing powder to cover the textured card stock. Honestly I wasn’t sure at this point if I’d gone WAY too far with it.
After layering the fabric, scrapbook paper and silk leaf I knew the page could be salvaged. I dug out some leaf shaped brads then heated and dipped them in several shades colors of embossing powder until I achieved the desired look. The framed letters were leftover from the title I made but never used on the cover of my Vintage Fashion altered book. The “L’s” are in reality “I’s” but you’d never have even known that had I not blabbed it to you.
Once I adhered the page into my scrapbook journal I noticed how great these two dark pages fit together…love it when things work out like that.
Linking up with Art Journal Journey again for Autumn.
Wow.. a beautiful page! Great that you could use the things all so artful! I sorted out hoarded papers today … definitely had too much from the kind of – I will never use it .
The page turned out just beautiful and the both really go well together Halle! Thank you once again for a fantastic entry to Valerie’s October theme at AJJ!
Happy new week to you!

I love the fabric and stitching on your page – it really adds to the organic feel of nature.
Another beautiful page, and yes, the 2 pages fit together really well. Thanks for joining us again at AJJ. See you tomorrow at the T day party! Hugs, Valerie
WOW! Both pages look spectacular together! I really like that leaf, too! Thank you for sharing your talents with all of us!
Wow- that red leaf really makes this page Halle. I love all the assorted textures you’ve layered here. Hugs-Erika
