Hi there,
I saw Donna Downey happily dropping colorful paint in her journal at Collage Monday this week. That'd be fun. So I tried :). Only thing, I made my pages looked more bohemian. Ever so inspired by my post here. Especially that pretty cake!. Did I get it?. I sure hope so.
I wiped off most of the paint blops, worried my pages would looked too bright or too graffiti-ish. I did glue down old alpha thickers (which no longer sticking), just like Donna.
And dabbed gold ink all over these alphas to make them shiny and 'boho' looking. Lots of gesso, strips of pages from old book, paper doilies, stamping and doodling for the background.
Doilies, peeking. They take paint well, especially ink :). LOVE.
It's cool to work on a favorite theme once in a while. I play hard in my journal. Happy times!. I'll share a couple more bohemian journal spreads soon. Hugs.
P/S: I'm linking this to Art Journal Everyday :)
Oh my is this pretty and yes looks bohemian. What a great job you did on the colors, looks like the cake one for sure. I love all the alpha's and fun background peeking thru. How cool the gold is too. So glad you had fun and went with a theme that came out PERECTLY GORGEOUS!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for enjoying my PL pages, so nice to have you visit.
Thanks so much, my friend. Neat to use lots of gold ink since I don't really use gold before!. FUN experiment :)
DeleteOh I didn't know it was a picture of a cake when I first saw that post! Now I see it like a cake..at first I thought it was a picture of a plate with flowers and doilies ..you did a gorgeous job of making a complete bohemian themed journal page...looks really fun..I'm envious of your skills!
