Fall is Marvellous

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.
