Black and White Collage

I meant for this to be all black & white with the hint of neutral in the number cards, but as you can see I accidentally bled some reddish paint from another collage onto this page. Whoops! I still love it though, mostly how those large numbers really take over the page.

  3. O for a minute there I thought you glued money down on your collage. I got a little exited for a moment, hahaha. I actually love the red bleed through on the edge of the page. Give it a more authentic aged feel.
    Great job!

  4. Hi Susan,

    I came over from Aimee's place; just had to see what Glue It Tuesday is all about. I really like the red tint to part of the page!

    Peace,

  7. I second what others have written above: the red works with the black and white.

    I have done the same thing with my art journal so now I put some folded in half wax paper sheets between the pages so that hopefully the colors don't go where I don't mean them to go.

    As Lynn wrote, this was a happy accident.

  8. What a great car image! I always have some strange "interloper" from other pages. I've decided (like Lynn says above) that these "happy accidents" add extra character to my spreads!
