Peter Rabbit paper clips for my Junk journal

Hi Friends, Today i have some paperclip banners to share that i made for my Peter Rabbit Junk journal. I have about 4 journals in the process and keep skipping from one to another. lol. It is kinda fun though not to have to work on the same thing daily though.

All of the clips have banners made from either hand dyed papers or file folders, all have lace and flowers from recollections and I used a couple of buttons from my Very large stash.

Rubber stamp by All night Media colored with watercolor markers. Hand dyed paper background.

Handmade decorated ticket on banner using a digital image of Peter rabbit. Hand dyed paper background.
