Life doesn't have to be wonderful to be perfect Art Journal page

Hello to all!

Happy Saturday!

Today I wanted to share an Art Journal collage page with Vintage Ephemeras!

We will live extraordinary moments, we will be far, but we feel closer than ever. Now is the time to stop and value every minute to live in the present and enjoy those great little moments that the day today offers us and the last in our memory forever.

I started with all these supplies from my collection in the below pic. I fussy cut watercolor florals and butterflies, some stickers, old scripts, doily in blue color, vintage ephemera, die-cut different frames using Postcard rectangles and did some doodling work too, created a wax seal

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

I added my Fashion girl sticker to the vellum rectangle and sealed it with a coat of clear varnish.

Step 4

And a bitty transparent sticker sentiment for an inspirational message along with a wax seal sentiment- "Always Believe in yourself."

Strips of handwritten messages, some white half beads and the page are just completed...... Happiness on paper!

Now some close-ups:

I hope you have a great day!

Happy crafting!

Hello all!

Good Afternoon!

I created a serene scene with pretty calm Buddha emerging through the foliage. The set is called Inner peace with different images of Buddha.

First I stamped the image in ultra slow dry embossing ink pad and spread the nice ice blue glitter, heat embossed it. I wanted a cool and peaceful feeling, so I colored my image with different shades of blue DI. Fussy cut it.

Next on a stitched white rectangle panel I created dry embossed stitched circles to create a Chakra pattern for my Buddha image.

 Die-cut a stitched circle in navy blue and added to the largest circle one. Added this panel to my light blue card base. On a snippet of white strip panel, I applied some embossing ink and heat embossed it with Metalline dark blue EP first and then spread one more layer of ice blue glitter powder for the subtle look and die cut some foliage leaves.

Finally, the foliage leaves associated with the cool Buddha image with some dimensions and depth. Added a Believe word and coated with glossy accents to pop it out. 

In the end, finished it off with some cool blue enamel dots.

I hope I manage to bring a little serenity to your day!

Happy crafting!
