1. randomly glued strips of scrappaper on white cardstock (if I would have been thinking I would have used a piece of scrap cardboard)
2. gelli printed over it with a gradient of green colors, I like the ghost print as well, it even shows the pieces of scrap.
3. I made my own stamp with a piece of cardboard, string and glue
4. used a crunched up piece of tissuepaper as a stamp with purple acrylic paint and stamped all over
5. diluted some hot pink acrylic paint with water and added as drippage
6. finishing touches: the paperpieced Julie Nutting doll, some tape and the handwritten sentiment "Be unique"
While writing this post I thought of adding my fingerprint with ink, I saw this on one of the other entries of the Q&L challenge from Twinkle's twaddle, so thank you for this idea.
junk used:
* scrap paper
* dictionary pages
So here are the 2 pages that started out almost identical but both went there own way

Brilliant use of junk and great page too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Clare, I'm so glad I found your group, it has been so much fun already.
DeleteWhat a great page! And I so love your making of your own stamp!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I love making my own supplies (stamps, stencils, spray ink,...)
DeleteVery unique, I loved that green page already when it was a gelli print!
ReplyDeleteI'm also very pleased with this page
Deletelike how you have used the gelli plate on this very effective with scrap papers and home made stamp too
ReplyDeletethanks, I'm glueing every piece of scrap like a mad woman.
Deletefab page, love the idea with the scraps for the background. :)
ReplyDeleteThx, would like to say it was my idea, but no I got it from the gelliarts blog
DeleteFabulous unique pages
ReplyDeleteMaggieH
Thx
DeleteVisiting from the Craft Barn challenge....your page is beautiful and I love the idea that you made your own stamp!
ReplyDeleteThx, I love making own supplies, saves some money and you have a something really unique
DeleteVisiting from the Craft Barn - I really love the paperpieced doll, but the whole page is, of course, fabulous, and I appreciate that you showed your process. I'm very impressed by your stamp, and would like to say a big thank you for the 'shout out' ((grins)) :o)
ReplyDeleteWhen I thought about the set-up for my blog that was one of the things that i certainly wanted to do, give step by steps, because when I visit blogs and see something beautiful I want to know how it as made. Also if I use an idea of someone else I try to give them credit if I remember.
DeleteLovely background and paper pieced doll.
ReplyDeleteThanks, the paper doll I made a while ago and fitted just perfect with this page.
DeleteDefinitely unique - great choice of colours and design.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful junk journal page, love all the shapes and colours and especially your own hand created stamp! Very unique and inspired entry :-) xxx
ReplyDeletePLEASE can i ask you to turn off word verification, you can still view your comments before you publish them but this takes ages as i can't see the words properly. Taking time to try and crack this stops me from visiting other blogs because of the time it take. Thank you :-) xxx
I'm so sorry, I wasn't aware that I had it switched on, I just turned it off, I too find it a nuisance, you just can't read at all what is written and yet I'm human and not a machine.
DeleteBeautiful, beautiful! love the girl and the gorgeous background!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I like the Julie Nutting doll stamps.
DeleteLove the all the paints layers and your idea with the home made stamp. I will be thinking about that to try and come up with my own textures!
ReplyDeletedefinitely do so
DeleteThis is fabulous and a great way to use up scraps and recycle. Love your handmade stamps too.
ReplyDeleteI can't throw anything away, but now at least I use it instead of piling up in my craftroom :-)
DeleteI've tried making my own stamp using string glued to cardboard, and found it very difficult. I give you kudos for what you did. It looks fantastic. And of course, I like that you pulled a gelli sheet from all that junk paper.
ReplyDeleteWhen I hear recycle, I get all excited, and these pages spoke to me. I'm here from the Craft Barn, but I like both spreads, which, I agree, are completely different. There's a sense of both randomness and order to them.
Thanks, I must say the stamp is not exactly what I had in my mind, I wanted the circles to be neater.
Deletegreat pages, love your take on Darcy's challenge
ReplyDeleteThanks, it's totally different, but I like using elements of what I see and like.
DeleteGreat layering, you created some interesting depth.
ReplyDeleteThanks, you gave me some great inspiration.
DeleteLove the way you built up this page. BJ
ReplyDeleteThanks BJ.
