I decided to do another entry for the Gecko Galz Blog Challenge to complete the "back" side of the bamboo cut out page from my previous post.

Beauty of the Far East...

August 14th 2024

It's been awhile since I've posted on my blog however I wanted to join this months challenge at Gecko Galz so I'm sharing my mixed media journal spread using one of the images from the "Asian Doll" collage set available at the Etsy Store.

I've used a Paperartsy stencil designed by Tracy Scott to do the cut out and stenciling. One of Natalie May's floral stencils worked perfectly with this image. I love how this turned out!

Blank Page Muse: Time Flies

Today I am sharing a mixed media journal page using stamps available in store plus collage image and stencil from my stash.

Stamps used:

"Cogs" from Steampunk Circus Set

Time Flies Word Stamp

I had a page in my journal that I had painted with excess paint so I decided to finish it off with a Steampunk theme.

I added texture paste through a stencil and once dried I painted over the texture with Lindy's Magicals.

I stamped the little cogs/gears stamp over the background. I added embellishments, bits of washi and book page along with a fab Steampunk Cutable image from my local scrapbook store click here!
