Visualize Spring Art Journal Pages - More Than Words Challenges

 

Hi! I'm excited to be a Guest Designer for the More Than Words April Main Challenge! The word inspiration this month is VINTAGE, and the creative challenge is COLLAGE. I have had these colorful VINTAGE die-cuts in my stash for years and it feels great to finally use them on an art journal page! I pieced several designs together to create a COLLAGE image for my journal. Once the die-cuts were secured to the page, I added glitter for a touch of sparkle. I'm trying to visualize Spring and am hoping that it arrives soon!

I pieced together 6 different vintage die-cuts to create this colorful collage image. I love all the texture! Before I started the collage work, I prepped the pages with white gesso and then added color with Gelatos and Distress Crayons. I added a simple print using a stencil with Distress Oxide Ink.

I like to use dictionary pages when I can. I highlighted a couple of words with a black pen and then added another word, spring, in my own handwriting to finish the thought.

I added a small die-cut butterfly to the top corner of the page. I used Distress Markers and a pen to outline the die-cuts and to create a lined border around the edge of the journal pages.

The More Than Words team would love to have you join them. Stop by the More Than Words Challenge Blog for all the details about how to enter the challenge. While there, I've answered some questions about art and art journaling that might be fun to read!
