Welcoming a new host at Art Journal Journey

 

Today we welcome a new host at Art Journal Journey.  It's time to welcome Wendy at Wendy's Craft Journey.  Her theme this month is Vintage.  Because I wasn't sure what vintage really entailed, Wendy provided a very good and detailed description of the word.

I, on the other hand, took a very different approach to the theme.

I picked a very good vintage.

I just love how the text underneath shows through the napkin.

It is, however, quite obvious the places I didn't spread the glue stick on the page.

For this spread that I created in my Stress Free altered book, I used a gifted napkin that I separated into three layers.   I spread glue stick on the pages of the book, added the top layer of the napkin, then closed the book.  Once I was sure the image was dry, I opened the book and much to my horror, I saw the napkin tore at the seam because I hadn't allowed enough "give" at the seam.  To complete the spread, I added the computer generated quote that I outlined in dye ink.

 

Thank you ever so much for visiting today.  Wendy, Chris, Erika, Valerie, Yvonne, Bleubeard, and I are delighted you joined us and hope to see you this month at Art Journal Journey with your own take on Vintage.    

 

We welcome art journal pages that meet the size and theme requirements, altered book pages, canvases, loose or stand alone pages including fabric, and digital art.  We do not allow cards, tags, index cards, ATCs, or ATCoins, unless they are part of a journal page, and as much as we don't want to, will be forced to delete your entry.
