earlier this month I created a page for Gill’s Art Journal Journey’s NATURE’S WONDERS that I shared here…
more often than not I work on a spread rather than just one page but this time was one of those times…
I stamped two Lynne Perrella stamps on the white thin layer peeled from a napkin adhering them to the page with matte medium adding color with a toothpick (the black highlights are Tim Holtz rubons that I also used on the Wonder page)…
one of the things I enjoy very much about working over text in my collage backgrounds is what reveals itself without even trying… the rays and the French word for sun/soleil above are a good example…
nature truly is a continuous wonder ♥

It was good to see both the pages of the spread together Patty. I love how you layer the collage elements together and you can still see some of the original details. Whatever the accident this sure did work out to be a fabulous page.
Have a happy weekend

Oh Patty – how I love all of your creative ideas. You have my head spinning. I would like to do one more journal page and might just try my hand using a napkin. God only knows where I will go from there.

Your work is gorgeous Patty and I wonder if I am sad sitting oohing and ahhing over splodges and splats and also zooming in as far as I can to see all the wonderful details close up. I love it!
I wanted to say thank you for all the lovely comments on my pages, especially the last couple of days, that was very sweet and kind.
Hope you are having a lovely weekend and that the heat has cooled a bit for you…(I don’t think I could cope with the high temps you get.)

I’m always impressed how you can layer and it looks cohesive and right instead of just a mess of too much stuff. There’s a lot there — yet it all works. I strive for that. You have it mastered!
