Thorny Path



I had a trip to my local garden centre this afternoon and spotted this beautiful tissue paper.
It reminded me to enter the "A Vintage Journey" Challenge, which invites us to use tissue.

I began by gluing rice paper, my newly found tissue and some magazine pics to my pages, and gradually built up a painty background by rubbing and brushing.


Eventually, some of my images disappeared and I added some of my own painted flowers, some alcohol ink flowers and some printing with the edge of a credit card. I also printed some PaperArtsy roses by Tracy Scott.
I must admit that it went through a very grotty stage before it emerged like this.
I added some writing with a white pen  and found some Magazine words.
So, this is my entry for the challenge.

  4. I love how you've woven your own painted flowers and the alcohol ink blooms in amongst the tissue paper ones, tumbling across the page in such profusion. The white lettering around the edge is a fabulous way to add the text. Beautiful! Thanks so much for joining us on A Vintage Journey.
