I took one look at the new Portraits in Bloom collection from @paperrosestudio and immediately knew I needed to get beautifully messy with it 🎨🌸 The rich jewel tones, layered textures, and dreamy imagery absolutely captivated me. For this junk journal page, I fussy cut the girl right from the 12x12 papers, then built the page around her using a mix of papers, inks, texture pastes, stencils, stamps, and sprays until everything felt alive and wonderfully chaotic. I love how artsy and storybook-like this collection feels! https://paperrose.com.au/?sca_ref=8077831.DBNfqiDxxRYSwh

Techniques: Tearing paper, die cutting, fussy cutting, stamping, stenciling, splatter, drawing, ink blending, layering
