Collage Journal Page

Hi all,
Sharmaine here, sharing a page out of my X-Press It Blending Journal.
The very first thing I did was pulled out the supplies I wanted to play with.

I’ve used:
X-Press It Blending Journal
X-Press It Triple Tac Glue
FabScraps papers (from the Enchanted Garden range): Blue Heron, Blue Heron 2, Birds & Bees, Birds & Bees 2.
FabScraps chipboard: Decor Corner #1, Decor Corner #2

The first step was to cover a page with Triple Tac and stick down some paper

I then ripped off the excess paper, from around the edge of the page.

I repeated this for the other side of the journal.

I then cut out some of the birds, found on the pattern paper,

and some of the other winged creatures.
These were then added to the pages.

I used the Triple Tac as a Transfer Medium to add this bird,

so he was facing the way into the journal, rather than out.

You can read more on this process in Edna’s post, found HERE.

So now the base of my journal page was complete.

I then gave the 2 pages a wash with some diluted blue ink, making the pages uniform.

The next thing I did was use the FabScraps chipboard as a stamp

Which is simple done by coating the chipboard with paint and stamping.

The other chipboard I cut in half

and added to the side of each page, using the Triple Tac to adhere.

I also used the painted chipboard, cutting this up too.

I then added my “title” and the pages were finished.

Love the depth created by the layers

and the gorgeous images.

I hope this inspires you to pull out a journal, glue and papers.
I hope this inspires you to play with collage.
I hope this inspires you to be creative today.
Thanks for stopping by.
