"Praise the Lord" Mixed Media Scripture Art Journal Page for Donna Salazar Designs

Hello my dear paper crafting friends. I'm up today on the Donna Salazar Designs blog with another of my mixed media Scripture art journal pages. The background is something near and dear to me. My mom's church was cleaning out a storage closets a few years back, and one of the things they were getting rid of were ancient hymn books - soft covered, yellowed with age, the edges bent and crumbling. My mom, knowing how much I treasure vintage book pages, brought a couple of them to me. I took a few of those treasured old pages and tore them into strips and pieces to create the background for this page. Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Girlie Grunge Art Medium, thinned with water was just perfect to adhere and protect this delicate paper on one of her Denim Art Journal pages. 

Of course I added mixed media textures and color, but allowed plenty of those sweet music notes and bits of hymn verses to show through. You can see more photos and learn all the details HERE.

Here's a sneak peek:

"Joy" Birdcage with VIDEO TUTORIAL ~ Scraps of Elegance April Kit

I have to admit. I get very excited when my Scraps of Elegance package arrives at my door each month. The gorgeous April Kit was no exception. The newest addition to the add on line up, the Off The Page Add On,  has been so fun to work with. This month Melinda included this fabulous Prima Birdcage for the OTP Add On offering. 

Not only is this a gorgeous piece to alter, the timing couldn't have been more perfect. One of my good scrapbooking friends recently turned 75. Her daughter threw a birthday party for her, and she invited us scrappy gals. She absolutely adores birds, so I just had to create this as a special gift for her.

I have created a process video tutorial to share with you.

Techniques shared in this video include:

~ Distressed patina finish

~ DIY sisal bird nest

~ DIY word banner

~ Mixed media background

Enjoy!
