Hi, Isa Dor here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This journal page is very special, as I\u2019m not using any of the vibrant colors I\u2019m used to, only black, white, and gold. This is a great way to highlight the beautiful lines and designs of your stamps!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This page is part of a double spread, but today we\u2019re going to be creating the left page. The first step is to put something on it! A toilet paper roll with black paint, and here\u2019s my first mark!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have music sheets printed on old yellowed tracing paper and I tore one of them into 3 pieces of different sizes to glue them down on my page. I then added 3 tiny paper scraps from my stash, all in the same neutral color range as the background: a Corean book page, a dotted eco-dyed paper, and a gel medium raised surface on kraft paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, come my beloved number stamps from the Pick a Number set. Again, working with 3 stamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, I stamped my focal point: a leaf pattern on black and white paper that I had kept from a gel plate printing session. The kind of paper you offload your brayer on to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The fussy cut image went onto my page after I decorated all four edges with the stitch stamp from the Mixed Media Borders set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last step: I added a black paper scrap (also from a gel printed paper) to make a bold statement and keep the eye of the viewer near my focal point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there you have it! A minimalistic mixed media journal page!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
