I am hosting Art Journal Journey for this month with vintage as my theme. It's a while since I used my vintage type stamps so I have enjoyed doing these. This page started off with me writing all over the background and then covering it with a light coat of gesso. I then added some collage. I used an old envelope and made a little journal out of scraps of paper to put inside. Muslin scrap was adhered to the front for some texture. I made a card with the wren on the front and put a couple of quotes inside. A leaf from the garden and a gelli print of one were added with a small pocket with two found feathers inside. I added the painted tree to connect it with the leaves and birds.
This set of tags are hiding under the envelope which is hinged on the left.
