Thought I'd interrupt the regularly schedule program of girl faces and beetles with a Pinterest inspired art journal page. Do you love Pinterest?! I do - although it can definitely be a time waster if you aren't careful and I waste enough time looking around in blog world as it is. . .
Broke up the white with some random bits of Washi tape (A Muse Studio) on the borders and some ink splats. Currently I feel that all things are improved with ink spots (including my computer screen - I have got to be more careful with that ink!!)
Colors are courtesy of the current Play Date Cafe Challenge. Word stickers are from Tim Holtz idea-ology.

Simple yet very effective! You're right: The ink splats really add something.

ReplyDeleteLove the colours and design, looks quite retro I think, reminds me of the 50's. I agree pinterest can be a great source of inspiration and also procrastination!
ReplyDeleteI really like the simple composition and muted colors, it's like a whisper instead of a shout.
