Autumn Enchantment - Junk Journal

Hello Friends!

I'd like to share another junk journal with you today using

Shimmerz Paints to enhance some embellishments.

Below is a round metal rim office tag and Shimmerz Candlelight Paint was used to make the little leaf die-cut look like a metal or resin like piece.
I purchased the round metal rim office tags from
A Tattered Dream on Etsy.

I love how metal rim office tage turned out and will be using Shimmerz Candlelight more often.

I am enjoying making these junk journals.

They're perfect for preserving memories by journaling, adding photos, vintage doily's and laces, and ephemera. 

In this journal, I've incorporated some photos, and an ticket to a play I saw many, many years ago. These tickets make great little collages too. 

You can find a short slideshow of the entire journal on my newly created YouTube Channel.

And, you can visit Shimmerz Paints Blog to get all the product details too. 

I hope the junk journal inspires you to create one also.

Use your scrapbook tools, mixed media skills, add in some sewing, and you can have one too.

Thanks for looking.

Ideas you can use with Office Metal Tags on your art Projects!

Hello my arty friends!

Here are a few examples of what you can do with Office Metal Tags

for your junk journals, and/or scrapbooking pages.

Spritz your favorite mist, or tea stain the white

portion of the office metal tag; then apply some digi paper, or stamp

an image on top of the tag; add a fussy cut an element; and finally apply

some Shimmerz Paints, Pasteez-Sale of the Earth to

seal your applications and it will render a cool

faux encaustic look without the hassle of real encaustic wax.

The butterfly example above is the result of a heavy application of

Pasteez-Salt of the Earth.

A selection of sizes of the Office Metal Tags 

can be purchased at

A Tattered Dream on Etsy here.

Not only can you purchase office metal tags in a variety of sizes,

but the shop has an abundance of trims, fibers, and

junk journal papers too. 

Thank you for letting me share.
