An Experiment


This was an experiment in paper.

No it is not a collage, not I didn't really glue much paper to this. However, the journal page is separate from my book and done on regular card stock.


This was my first time using card stock as a substrate and I am not sure how I like it. The corners kept rolling up and wouldn't stay flat like water color paper does, yet it has a really good toothy texture that I happen to like.

All in all it wasn't a bad experiment.

Amazing colors! My cardstock has no tooth. I'm wondering what kind you used. Your page is really beautiful.

Beautiful work, it's always fun to experiment with different papers and such. ^-^
I usually tape down the paper I'm working on if using watercolors to prevent it from getting bumpy and corners rolling up... I can't see the rolled up corners in your piece though, I think it looks awesome!
