An unfinished page

Hi Everyone
Happy Sunday to you all, hope you are having a good one. 
I'm feeling a little under the weather today and I'm hoping this flu bug doing the rounds hasn't set its sights on me, especially as I am having a week off work this coming week.  Rather than feeling sorry for myself I dragged myself into my craftroom for a little play, that always helps doesn't it?
Rather than start something new, ideas's weren't very forthcoming, I returned to finish an art journal page that has laid unfinished for months.


Working in my small Dylusions journal I had the background already done which was just paint cleaned off my brayer.  I built up the background with different stencils and the Frida image is a Lost Coast stamp stamped onto a scrap of gelli print. 


After I cut out and stuck on the Frida image I highlighted her with stencilled dots and then I went around the image adding tiny pieces of torn Dina Wakley washi tape. 


I stamped and cut out the fish from one of my subscriber stamp sets of Badass Stamps to put a little more context to the Frida quote I chose to use.


Then typed the quote out on my old typewriter.

Thanks for stopping by
Love
Amanda X

  1. This is the second time i've seen that fab Frida stamp used this week, I love it. A real treat added to your fabulous journal page, I love how you build up colours Amanda. Hope you enjoy your week off and fingers crossed you are not coming down with the flu as it's a real stinker!!

  3. So glad you made yourself go crafting - this page is amazing. So full of depth and power - and fabulous colour contrasts. Great quote too.
