Sometimes things just fall into place. I began with a distressed black piece of scrapbook paper. Then looked about my desk for inspiration.
I had a couple scraps of Tim Holtz tissue paper, gluing them down overlapping each other. Next a grabbed a scrap of shorthand book. Those pages have come in so handy. Next I layered a scraps of various paper. I had lots of straight lines so it screamed for something round. This clock face ephemera piece was a great way to break up all those lines.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw a spool of trim that I picked up at a garage sale recently. I paired it with a little bit of black and gold washi tape.
I didn’t love the stark black on the corner so I used a bit of gelato and my finger to spread it around.
I did the same thing to balance out the opposite corner. Next I grabbed my found text mini drawer and began sifting through… 
I couldn’t have been happier when this gem appeared at my finger tips. Some might say I have a quirky sense of humor.
I hope you’ll stop by Art Journal Journey and check out my July theme of Fabric, lace and trims…oh my!
