and the theme for this week is...
WORLD TRAVELER
I had lots of fun making a "Travel" page for my 2016 Art Journal
I used 4 pages for this project and painted around the edges of the two outer pages with Black Gesso...
Tim's Idea-ology Ruler was perfect to create a torn effect around the edges...
I stamped lots of images from Simon Says Stamp (Darkroom Door) Enjoy the Journey stamp set over the background with Black Archival Ink...applied Idea-ology Correspondence Tissue Tape...Special Delivery Remnant Rubs...an Adage Ticket and Expedition Ephemera and created shadows around the Ephemera and Tissue Tape with the Black Soot and Walnut Stain Distress Markers.
I repeated the white embossing with the Texture Stamp and used White Texture Paste with the Decoart/Andy Skinner Industrial Elements stencil to create the wording and once it was dry...created shadows with the Black Soot Distress Marker.
I painted the edges of the inner pages with Black Gesso and used a Signo Uniball White Pen to highlight the inner edge...the globes and some of the remnant rubs...
