Challenge #40

September already, Alex goes back to school on Tuesday September 5 summer went way to fast.  This month's challenge at Mixed Media Monthly is Vintage
Here is the mood board

The month's sponsor is Funkie Junkie Boutique

My creation- an art journal page.  I went with a collage page using paper scrapes, rub ons, sewing, wire, thread, stencil and paint.  This a page for an album I am working on.


Before the picture was added, I stamped bird from Rubber Dance Stamps then colored with pencil crayons and fuzzy cut.  I sponged alchemy paints through a checker stencil, once dry move stencil and sponged with white paint into negative space to make a checkerboard.


Close up of bird, stitching along side of pic, I think sewing always gives a vintage feel.


I used yarn and wire to create texture I love texture.

The finished page has a side flip.


Will a mini folder and envelope.


 Inside is two kraft envelopes.



Get ready for a bunch of pictures, here is the completed album
