Ella and Viv Paper Company - Tinker Tray Collection - 12 x 12 Paper - Pebbles

Stones, pepples, river rocks

I must have picked up hundreds in my life. I love the colors and shapes, as well as how they feel after the river got done with them. This group of different types is super wonderful for people like me. So elemental yet carefully edited so nothing is too monotone or too out of place, and better yet they aren't artificially colored. Oh, yeah, the good stuff. I actually think this is a good size for card makers who want a strong pop of texture and theme. But my guess is it was designed for paper crafters and art journalers who love strong collage images. Sure you can gesso and get a misty look. But you could also use different opacity of vellum for a different feel. I can't help thinking of creating a fake mosaic using square or round punches and using paint or crayons to add the grout. Right now I'm working on a page with a tree collage image based on a song by Micheal Hedges that describes love as...
the root of the root
and the bud of the bud
And the sky of the sky
of a tree called life
The background are the blue tone pebbles from this paper. Yeah. The good stuff.
