Every age can be enchanted- 2D Art Journaling!

 Hello to all!

Happy Saturday!

"what could be more beautiful than a dear old lady growing wise with age? Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it." - Brigette Bardot

It doesn't mean giving into our age, it simply means adapting to it. Ageing is inevitable. Our hair will turn grey and our skin and our joints will loosen so just make sure you choose earrings and lipstick to match your hair color, and wear clothes that will hold you in a little - no big deal.

At your age, you become more relaxed with yourself, more accepting of others, less judgemental and less worried about what people think. You are less restricted and can therefore be much more impulsive - if you want to wear spots, stripes and flowers all the same time you can. If you do pass wind people will think you are too old and polite to do that so won't believe for a moment it was you - so you can let it go and smile! Most of all enjoy the freedom to do all these things - you.ve earned it and you're allowed to now!

So here is my 2D Art Journal page!

First of all, I collected all the materials I need to create this page and fussy cut all the elements for both the pages.

I added some torn sticker rolls and a handmade paper randomly. Did some stamping.

Added those beautiful fussy cut flowers. with the frame to create a window.

A closer look:

The next page-

Added a seal wax stamp in dual-colour with a dried flower and highlighted it with a silver marker.

Finished off both the pages by adding some half pearls and splatters.

Hope you enjoyed the page!

Happy crafting!

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!
