Creative Borders
 |
Here is one of my favorite techniques for making borders.
I start with a page in my journal that I've painted with a variety of layers.
|
 |
Then, from another journal, I make color copies of a few pages. I use pages that have a lot of detail, color and texture. Cut or tear the pages into strips to use as border designs. |
 |
First, I place an image, using staples rather than gel medium, and a quote into the center of the page. |
 |
Then, I glued the cut strips around the edge of my page, and added another contrasting paper. |
 |
Needing to draw the focus inward more, I added a simple border with a white Sharpie poster pen, creating the perfect finishing touch. |
Having used the color copies from other journal pages helped pull together this page fairly quickly.
