Using up gel prints and painted papers: grungy pockets and tags from your own art

#junkjournal #artjournal #gelliplate
A super way to use your artwork thats not quite frame ready.
I used painted papers, gel prints and textured papers to create grungy neutral unique pockets and tags.
I used paper, card, eyelets, cropodile, scissors, glue and ink.
I hope you enjoy.

Love these, what great little projects - and you've done a wonderful job with them - I think I'd be happy too, just making a bunch of them to sit in a box, lol! The sweet birthday note from your grandson was priceless! ❤❤❤

I collect paper things now Susan!!! It’s ridiculous but I actually prefer them filed nicely in a box than I do in a journal. It’s like they’re gone when put in a journal…even though it’s on the shelf. I think I have a problem Susan 😂🤣😂🤣😂❤️❤️❤️

Hi Kirsten, your tags are so pretty! 🤩 There is contrast, there is depth, your color palette is exactly what I love. You soothed my sleepless night 😵. Good work my dear 🥰 Have a nice weekend, xo Britta

What great tags and pockets! Fun seeing you make one, I've not yet done one. Thanks!

[@quirkyqueens]

I get the urge to do these but I end up with stuff everywhere. I think they’re good for a break from the gel plate so you can think up good ideas.

These are wonderful! Thank you for sharing😁

Hi, sorry I took so long to reply. I’ve been spring cleaning teenagers bedrooms…but I got out alive, as did they!!!! 😂 I’m glad you like them. I love junk journals, it’s how I started making art. I do plan to make these videos more frequently than I have been.

😂 I always found that a good sturdy rope around the waist helped. If it could help in a blizzard to find your way home from the barn, it had to be helpful to follow back to the teapot!

😂🤣😂 next time I will use one!!!! In my house, everything stops for a nice cup of tea. I really love tea…and a biscuit…or 5…or how many I have available!!!!

Thanks Machteld. I’m not sure where I’m going wrong with these videos, I’m gonna need to do some digging. Maybe hashtags???? 💗🌼

@@quirkyqueens I really have not figured those out myself yet but I say: just go with your own flow and the rest will follow 💖🍀
