Bliss

It's time once again to join Wendy, our host this month at Art Journal Journey, with her theme which is Vintage. 

I've named this journal entry Bliss.

I created a floral "corsage" to match the hat and bouquet of the lady in the vintage painting.

If it looks like everything matches, it's because it does!

I dyed the cheesecloth,

the flowers,

and the ribbon

to match the background color.

I found the word Bliss in a magazine and it spoke to me.

I started this 110 lb. cardstock page using my go-to background of pink Staz-on reinker and 91% isopropyl alcohol.  While making the mixture, I also dyed the flowers, ribbon, and cheesecloth.  I assembled the flowers and leaves and created a three flower corsage.   I added some dried baby's breath for filler.

When the cardstock was completely dry, I ran ribbon across the width of the page and affixed it using E6000.  I laid down the cheesecloth and placed the focal image over it.  Next, I draped the cheesecloth behind the focal image and the corsage I placed on the page.  I then added the ribbon streamers and the found word.

Thank you beyond belief for dropping by today.  Bleubeard and I are delighted you visited and hope to see you soon at Art Journal Journey with your own take on Vintage.
