AAJS7 Sharon's Pages in Lisa's "Book Page Art" Journal

Hi Everyone!
 
I'm sharing my pages in Lisa's Journal - I just loved this theme of "Book Page Art" - I always use old book pages in my journal and other creations to add interest to the background!
 
 
I couldn't resist and "Alice in Wonderland" theme for my pages as I had recently bought an old "Alice" paperback novel for 50cents from a second hand book stand!!!!
 
I used pages from the book to cover the entire background - I trimmed the edges once it was all dry.
 
 
Next I used a wording type stencil and texture paste to the background and allowed to dry. Then I added ink sprays to each side and let dry.

 
I used more pages from the book to print the digi images on - before printing I used a spatula to add a thin layer of gesso to the pages so the wording was still visable but dulled off enough for the dig image to be most prominent. I coloured the digis with copic markers. I printed the Alice quotes on plain white card and cut out.

 
I adhered everything to the pages including some added washi tape. I just love the result - who doesn't love "Alice"???
 

 
Lisa I hope you like these pages!!!
 
Sharon
