Today’s journal page for my theme of Botanicals was inspired by the Tim Holtz lilac card. I’m a huge fan of lilacs. They have a very old fashioned feel to me. I have to admit though that purple is kind of out of my comfort zone when it comes to creating.
I cut a piece of scrapbook paper to my desired size of 7×10 inches to fit the converted planner journal I’m using. Next I pulled pieces that I felt would coordinate well in my collage. The scrapbook paper ended up being more of a frame for the main collage.
Layers and more layers is the name of the game lately. Keeping them all straight and adhered in the right order is the tricky part.
It seems no collage is done without a bit of extra texture from a fabric, lace or trims me me as of late.
I Hope you’ll play along and create a journal page for my theme of Botanicals and link up over at Art Journal Journey this month!
I absolutely adore this, Halle. I love the layers and layers, something that I’m workioong on, too. However, your art is superior to anything I might create. This is perfect for your theme at AJJ, dear friend.
I’m with you when it comes to lilacs. They smell so wonderful. Your page is a wonderful ode to those flowers. I don’t use purple all those often, but this lilac color has definitely started to grow on me so I think you made a great choice. hugs-Erika
