Fifth Child Studio: July 2017

Tag, You're It

I resisted adding art on top of my tag when I completed the background. I so loved the background that I created for approximately 30 different size tags all using the same colors, stamps and stencils. When I found the fish, I thought they would be perfect for this tag!

XYZ Journal

The "XYZ" letters I have had in my studio at least 8+ years. I thought they were cool, however, I didn't have a home for them until I thought of making this journal. The cover technique was one that I learned in an altered book workshop several years ago. The Tim Holtz thinlit gears are perfect for this cover look of industrial along with a couple of other elements that I had. Red electical tape was applied as an extra design element.

The large red "5" was an earring that I took apart. I save a lot of 5's for my "Fifth Child Studio" name.

Apparently I enjoy making tabs as my recent journals are packed with them!

Below are a few of my favorite pages.

I love stamping the tea cup several times and then stacking them. I liked how this page turned out and I will probably repeat this process.

Okay - I couldn't resist using this image from an old year book from a medical collage. His smug look was calling out to me to alter his appearance. I fussy cut the lense part of his glasses and inserted a distress ink color background. Glossy accents was then added.
