Ellen Art Journal

Had a fabulous time tonight playing with the ideas that Ellen Vargo showed us on her video.
Another step further extending the work of her fabulous stamps…oops 2 fabulousses already!

Anyway, I decided to go a bit neutral on my colours and then give it an Ellen POP of red!
First I brayered the colours displayed into my journal, managed to get in one of the new colours…Chutney, love it!

I followed Ellen's lead with next steps. Printed circles in coffee archival and tiny PA circle stamp in Snowflake.

I found some paper that had mop ups of Dyan Reaveley inks and added some London Bus with my brayer. I used this for my cut outs. 

Next, I tore up some PA paper which has maps on and distressed the edges. I glued it all down and highlighted the edges of the maps with Red Inktense crayon and water.

Finally I added my lettering and drew stitch lines to make a border.

Thanks Ellen, I have loved doing this and can now add more ideas to my pot!
