Bird Song Vintage Art Journal Page

Hi friends! Today I have an art journal page to share using a lot of pretty vintage papers and ephemera.

During my walks at this time of the year, the forest greets me with a choir of bird song and this art journal page is about that. A whole bunch of little birds are chatting to each other. I used mainly Tim Holtz ephemera, Pocket Cards and Design Tape to build this background, made in my large Dylusions Journal.

I started out with this page, where I had used up left-over ink and paint from some previous project.

Tim's Pocket Cards are absolutely gorgeous and I had a hard time picking which ones to use, but went mainly for those with a bird theme. I also used some Memoir Ephemera and Number Strips. Sand, fold and ink the edges.

Adhere the paper pieces and then add some more stenciling over them, to unify them with the background.

Sand the edges of the birds slightly and place them here and there, facing into the page.

I stamped sentiments from Simon Says Stamp Forest Scenery, All Seasons Tree, Mixed Labels and Laugh in Flowers. I also added Tim Holtz Trims Design Tape.

Ink the white sanded areas of some of the birds, but not all of them, for variety.

Glue the letters to the page, letting them overlap the birds.

Each bird stands on a number, as if they are documented in a nature journal.

I really like these thin Design Tape Trims.
