Waxed Paper Inspiration

Happy first Friday of February everyone. 

I am here today with another page for Valerie's Heavy Metal challenge at Art Journal Journey. This is also my page I made for Creative Jumpstart for January 16. 

This day's class was presented by Tania Ahmed. She made a journal cover. I ended up making a journal page using some of her cool techniques.

I started with a piece of watercolor paper that I used to clean up a brush with some orange paint on it. I then added my acetate image of this vintage lady and also some flower images  from a magazine cover. (I took both of these off an old journal page I deconstructed.)

  This part of my page was already completed when I went to work on some techniques  learned in Tania's class.

I normally use wax paper to paint on and put it in between still slightly damp pages in journals to keep them from sticking together.  I use sheets several times and usually have a few laying around. I had a sheet with 3 blue circles on it.  There was also some bits of the same blue elsewhere on the sheet, and I like how  those  bits of blue connected the color to the circles.

Tania also painted wax paper and doodled on it. Then she crumpled it to get a fantastic wrinkled design. I used some gold metallic paint and also some black Sharpie to make marks on the bare spots of this piece of wax paper. I wrinkled and then tore my wax paper into little pieces and created my page's background

.

 

I also thought I could make one of the flowers into a clock, so I used some metal clock hands and a gemstone brad (all from my stash) to do that. 

I finished by stamping the quote (an vintage one from Stampers Anonymous) on some paper.

I just read about Creative Artiste's  More Mixed Media newest challenge, and first for 2021. Anything Goes is the theme, so I shall be linking up to here also.

There's my page. Hope you liked it.

Have a great start to your weekend!
