@moonalchemy4: The first layer was bright yellow. I kept misting it with grey and soft brown until the pages looked weathered, then began building a small garden over the surface: a curled light frame, two paper portraits, dry-looking leaves, lace, and pale flowers. I cut an opening behind the right-hand frame so the portrait could sit inside it. Small beads and brushed edges brought the two pages together. At the end, I switched on the warm lights and let the faded colours stay just as they were. Save this quiet garden for a slow afternoon with paper. ## Hashtags #ArtJournal #JunkJournaling #MixedMediaArt #HandmadeJournal #PaperArt #VintagePaper #CreativeJournaling #HandmadeProcess
