Turning Ugly Journal Pages into Card Swans!

Ever made an UGLY journal page and wondered what to do with it? It's such a shame when, after you've had all the FUN of creating it, you stand back, look at it and think: "Well, that’s hideous, I'll have to gesso over that hot mess."  

But not necessarily . . . I WAS going to blot out this page with white gesso . . . but then had second thoughts. I tore it out of my journal and used it to die cut pretty flowers with instead . . . then set about making some cards from the results.


Three cards made so far . . . and plenty of
flower snippets left to play with!

Materials:

  • Ugly journal page for die cutting.
  • Daisy flower die by Marianne Designs
  • Circle of Leaves die by Simon Says Stamp
  • Outline flower die by Concord & 9th (retired)
  • Sentiment on the trio of flowers card by MFT (no longer in business)

I've only used ONE snippet on this card (the butterfly), but I hope you'll agree it has IMPACT!

  • Concord & 9th Butterfly (snippet from an art journal page I discarded)
  • Funky Fossil - Geometric Flowers stencil (green ink)
  • Tim Holtz THMM123 grungy letters stamp (grey ink)
