Vintage Ladies in my Art Journal

I had so much fun making these backgrounds and wanted to leave them as they were, I thought they were so cool! But(what do I know?) they needed something more and that something turned out to be the vintage ladies from an artists page in one of my Stampington magazines. Love vintage! It all came together from there...it's amazing how that happens.

This is a 4 page fold-out in my Dede Journal. I've been playing with it a lot lately and learning so much just by doing. Have I said that before? Well, it's true.






Backgrounds

Oh So Simple Hummingbird

The background was done with watercolor crayons. After playing with a few other backgrounds for a while, I decided to use my Prima script stamp, some bubble wrap and a small punch-out to add texture and contrast to the softness of the page. Then I remembered the Stencil Magic stencil I got at Scarlet Lime and went for it. I love the resulting silhouette.
