freebie - 7 vintage druggist labels + 4 matching photoshop brushes

Today I made myself some druggist labels and matching photoshop brushes 

and thought I'd share them here with you guys,

 there is no such thing as too many vintage images, let alone photoshop brushes!

freebie - 7 old, vintage .jpg Book Pages - royalty free -

I took to the scanner today and scanned in some of my favourite background pages 

that I made or collected from old books.

Two pages are gessoed up, ready to use;  one is a page out of an old book and has latin writing on it; two are out of an old book and have some original notations on them, and one I don't remember where I got from but I aged and distressed it a bit.

I hope these will give you some joy and inspiration :)

Junkjournaling - Little Angel Ephemera

Junkjournaling - Little Angel Ephemera

Making ephemera is so satisfying and fun, I love it 💗
This one I made using cutting dies from Aliexpress, a piece of fabric from a shirt we had to rip up for my daughters dance class, a bit of salvaged bookpage and lots of Distress Oxide Ink.

I want to get into Junkjournaling more so I figured starting to make ephemera is a good place to start, all the amazingly talented ladies on youtube say they go throught them superfast when they make their journals 😃
