Yes I loved it

Today’s art journal page was all about me wanting to play with some of our new washi tape.

Mini-me and I picked out 12 rolls at Michael’s the other day when we stopped in to pick up some twirly sticks for my planters along the front walk. Yes I know summer is half over but I still wanted them.

Anyway..back to the journal page.  I simply love the look of dress pattern paper over text so I knew I had to leave a good portion of that revealed on my page. I loosely framed the page first with paint then with washi over the top. Some of the wider washi tapes I tend to tear into thinner pieces and apply in a slightly random fashion.

A clothing tag serves as both a backdrop for the first part of my sentence and the date stamp. I think I may need a new Staz-on pad…that stamping didn’t turn out very well.

I used a needle tipped bottle with thinned white paint to create this heart. After it was somewhat dry I laid the washi over the middle. And true as the statement across it…I loved it.

This page put a smile on my face. Yet another reason I keep creating. Just for me, just art for art’s sake.

    Hello Halle, nice to meet you at AJJ.
    I like your wonderful pages very much. The washi tapes look nice and my favourite color turquoise fits well with the dark red and natural brown of the book pages,great composition. Your small piece of garden looks also very nice and artsy, I like it much.
    Have a nice weekend.
    Hugs

    WOW, dear friend. This is simply amazing. I’ve had washi tape split on me before, but never thought to use it that way. DUH! I love the colors you chose, and the dressmaker’s paper, too. And of course, if it has a heart, I love it, too. I was thrilled you shared it with us at Art Journal Journey. Thanks so much for your continued support there.

    Here I am focusing on the garden lol, but I love your twirly stick accents. I’ll know what to do with interesting branches I come across now :) Thanks for opening my eyes to a new idea.
