I decided to do a double journal page in my now favourite recycled Annual. I began by tearing strips of paper from a Kraft paper pad and gluing them down.
I knocked it back by brushing over with watered down Paperartsy fresco paints, Stone and Taupe.
I then selected some pics from a Tim Holtz Idea-ology Ephemera pack and aged them with Vintage Photo Distress ink.
I selected some stamps from the fabulous Travel Ways CMS 162, also by Tim Holtz. I used Black Archival ink to stamp them onto some of the Kraft paper and then heat embossed clear. After a layering with black shiny card I added them to my arrangement.
Finally, I linked all of the elements by adding some black Rub ons, also by Tim Holtz. Remnant Rubs.
I hope that this may inspire you to join in with us at Country View Crafts. There is a wealth of inspiration from our talented team.

Wonderful pages with just the right balance of foreground and background - perfect harmony xx
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this page spread. Brilliant collaging, and the softening of the Stone and Taupe over those fab tape strips works so well. Beautiful, and definitely captures that idea of the golden age of travel.
