Here are a couple of art journal pages I created using Victorian butterfly fairy images. I created the first page using one of the free butterfly fairy collage images, and it’s such a fun example of how these printables can bring a spread to life. I layered the fairy over torn paper, paint pen marks, and a vintage botanical illustration to build up texture and depth. I love how the mix of bold colors, paint pen details, and painted collage paper gives it a playful, whimsical feel while still feeling cohesive. Using the butterfly fairy printable as a focal point really tied everything together and added that magical touch I was looking for. This page is a great reminder of how easy it is to combine printable ephemera with paint and other scraps to create something truly unique in your art journal or junk journal.
For the second art journal page, I used painted collage papers and incorporated a French perfume label and a vintage flower image.
