Hi Everybody!
Our post and postage challenge at Art Journal Journey is nearing it's completion; on Saturday we will be starting our new challenge with a good theme
and a lovely guest designer, so don't forget to drop in at the 1st and see
what's going on.
I made another A3 vintage page, using an image I found in my stash. The background was painted with a mix of gesso and titan buff, and after fixing the image to the middle I used a large flourish stamp to stamp rather randomly around the edges using rusty hinge DI. I added more stamping using archival black, a vintage envelope and some stamps.
At Tag Tuesday our them is photography. I made a 'camera' using an image and some squares of black cardstock. I glued 2 CI images behind some filmstrip foil.
The background is a page from an old Sears and Roebuck Catalogue from 1899. I scanned it, printed it out to size, matted it with some linen card and some browny-black card.
Here are the scans of 2 pages from the S&R catalogue, feel free to download and use them in your work if you like them.
And a couple of photos from sunny Sunday:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Those brick wall photos are just spectacular Valerie. Cool shadows. And you have quite the collection of old envelopes and stamps. Glad we got to see them during this month. Can't wait to see what's to come this August. have a great day!

Love your romantic page and the tag is beautiful too. Really lovely photos, hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteThe bright photographs are wonderful and the ones of the reflections on the wall are stunning.
ReplyDeleteThis art page is wonderful and deserves to be framed and hung up somewhere special. Hope it isn't trapped in a book somewhere between other wonders you have created. This sure has been your theme with so much diversity and brilliant ideas,
Beautiful tag with great images and, the show stopper, the camera at the bottom that you made. Brilliant
Have a great day and think of me up to my eyeballs in quiche and sausage rolls lol
Love Chrissie xx
I will be thinking of you, and I would so like to have some of that wonderful food!
DeleteGreat makes Valerie, that's such a beautiful image of the woman reading. Love the photo of the wall too. Have a good day, I'm taking it easy after a road trip to IKEA yesterday with my daughter, 3 hours each way, was exhausted by the time we got home! Xx
ReplyDeleteStunning pages, they are all gorgeous.xx.xx

ReplyDeleteWieder so eine traumhafte Seite, das hast du eine ganz fantastische Vintage-Reihe gearbeitet! Super ist auch dein Mauer-Fenster-Foto, wirklich ein tolles Licht gerade!
ReplyDeleteWie du siehst, habe ich es so kurz vor Schluss auch noch geschafft mit eine Seite... aber es kann sein, dass ich jetzt wieder für einige Zeit nicht online sein kann, der PC mag nicht mehr hochfahren... Lieben Gruß von Ulrike
Tut mir leid, ich kenne das Gefühl, mein Laptop leidet auch unter Altersbeschwerden!

What gorgeous page and wonderful colour choices. The image is very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat tag, I love the camera... so clever as always. Hugs, Mar
Beautiful page for AJJ, I wonder what she is reading and why she is reading in that beautiful dress.
ReplyDeleteI like the photo of the man walking his dog.
Great art again ♥♥♥ Love the texture on the brick wall and that dog sure looks like it's enjoying it's walk ♥
ReplyDeleteThe colours are so warm and bring a lovely sense of the nostalgia to your AJ page and I like the way you stamped the flourish. Also love the tag.
