And I finished off the journal pages in my giant journal. I used the rest of the colours from Sunday. This time I used a postcard from Hopper, an antique photo of someone I don't know, and some rub-ons. I did some random stamping on the background, before adding the rest, and chose images which fitted to the background colours this time. It was, as always, fun to make, especially the little surreal effects. I am linking again to AEDM at Creative Every Day
And lastly I made a tag for *The Dragon's Dream* TIO, which I somehow didn't get round to the past couple of weeks. The dragon has been dreaming of Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium, so it had to be something steampunky. I covered a tag with some adverts from a German paper from 1899, *Steampunk time*, glazed it with mod-podge, and then added 2 images and a sentiment from *Scrollswork* stamps. I added a clock as charm.
So, enough for today! Hope you all have a good day, take care and thanks for visiting!
Hi Val, love your journal pages and tag, and the card from Katie is fantastic, what a lovely surprise for you in the post! Have a great day, Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteGreat 'stuff' today, Valerie. Katies fabric postcards are wonderful ... love the 'girl' on yours. The journal pages are super duper ... really like the way you drip the colour down the page .. and the Lyon's head on the man made me chuckle. Great tag as well .. you were busy yesterday. Hope you have fun again today. Take care. hugs, Donna

What a lovely surprise you had Val, you so deserve it for all your hard work. I love your tag, steampunk style, very effective. The journal pages are so different, I love the colour combo and all the stamping too. Happy Tuesday. xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous artwork Valerie although the journal page with the scorpion is somewhat creepy. Despite being a Scorpio I'm not keen on the actual thing.
ReplyDeleteLove the steampunk tag especially.
Sorry your weather isn't great either - it's now drizzling here.
