I had a little play this morning with some fabric I picked up at a church rummage sale on Thursday.
I cut a paper scrap down to 7×10 to fit in my planner journal then tore the fabric to approximately the right size. Next I put a bit of tape runner in the center to hold the fabric in place while I stitched around to create a stable base to work. 
Teal and orange are such a wonderful color combo. The bits of teal against the warm palette were very inspiring. 
I pulled from my stash and starting the layering process.
Adding more and more bits from my table.
I keep this glass cookie jar on my sewing table to toss little bits of this and that in as I am crafting. This system works really well for both containment and inspiration.
This color scheme really spoke to me. It was hard to decide when this one was done.
The mix of fabric, lace and paper has me very pleased with the end result.
I’d love it if you’d stop by Art Journal Journey and play along with my Botanical theme this month.
Sorry I’m late visiting. I LOVE this. I love the many fabrics you added and, unlike me, YOU can sew a straight line! What a gem. Thanks for this inspiorational entry at AJJ using your theme, dear Halle.
A wonderful mixed media page, Halle, for your theme at Art Journal Journey. Hugs, Mia Co-administrator for AJJ craftartista.blogspot.com {My Blog}
I love the combination of that pretty vintage fabric, the blue lace and the paper. I would have picked up the fabric too. It is really eye catching. And I like your fabric scrap jar. It’s a pretty piece of glass and it does the job. Happy rest of your weekend. hugs-Erika
