In today’s junk journal spread, I’m creating a layered background using leftover paper bits, vintage-style tickets, stamps and stickers - proving that even the tiniest scraps can become something beautiful.
The star of this page is a whimsical focal image that I absolutely adore and honestly… I think we should use our favourite supplies more often instead of saving them “for someday” ...
This page is full of texture, soft vintage details and playful collage layering, with my a dreamy fairy-inspired vibe that came together so naturally. If you love ephemera, mixed media, junk journaling or creative ways to use your stash, I hope this video inspires you to pull out those treasured pieces and create with them today.
✨ In this video:
• layering paper scraps & ephemera
• using tickets, stamps & stickers for texture
• creating a cohesive junk journal background
• adding a favourite focal point image
• embracing imperfect, meaningful creativity
What is your biggest fear in art journaling? Are you afraid of the blank page or ripping beautiful papers?
Book used in the video: Maremi's Collage Book "Moss Stories".
