Brrrrr it is very chilly here today at the lake. We got spoiled with a couple days of sunshine and 70's f during the week.
I wanted to make a journal page for Valerie's theme Geometrics over on Art Journal Journey. I am not one to think in geometric shapes at all so this was a challenge-really didn't know where to start when I first sat down to make my journal page.
I found the background page in my stash of magazine page saves, and then got to thinking about stamps-they are a geometric shape and I am thinking stripes are too? which is the background.
So I went from there. I used real cancelled stamps of USA's Lady Liberty, and then I found a post office stamp catalog that I had kept-and cut out photos of stamps. The post office had issued a series of stamps from an artist that was perfect for the theme. I found a couple love stamps, and the first responders stamp. These gave me the idea for the sentiment "Stamp out the virus" which I hand stamped. I also cut out a circle from a recycled card-I thought this would tie in the other circle below and the color.
Stay well and safe everyone.
Lovely page Kathy, great how you combined all those different shapes to make such a pleasing page. And a super sentiment! Thanks for linking to AJJ, much appreciated. Enjoy your weekend, stay safe, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteYes, of course stamps are geometric shapes (rectangles) and you worked out the theme really well and the page is great. I love those 2 dollar stamps. I don't get to see those often of course.
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Lisca
Thanks Lisca, I rarely see those dollar stamps either so when we got a package with them on there I had to save them I think they are pretty too-you two take care as well-hugs
