Book Lovers

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing an art journal page created using the Ciao Bella Book Lovers Junk Journal and Ephemera Book.

To begin, I chose the possible ephemera from the book, as this will guide the colour palette for the background.

To create a background on the page, I blended dusty concord and milled lavender distress ink through the flower part of the Dream On stencil.

I then added some of the diamonds, from the same stencil, using dusty concord and finally through the text part of the stencil.

Next I cut out the ephemera, leaving a small border around them. As I cut each piece out I placed it on the page approximately where I wanted it on my finished page. This was when I decided I didn't need the bicycle.

After I had placed the ephemera on the page, I decided the background was missing something, so I stamped some text using iced spruce distress ink.

I then glued the ephemera to the page using collage medium. 

Finally I chose some words from the book, cut them out and glued them to the page.
