Hello everyone,
I hope you are all ok out there keeping warm and keeping those crafty hands creating:) As promised I am showcasing my creation inspired by week 2 of my Wanderlust journey. For those of you who don't know what I am talking about you can check out all the details Here, I must warn you however it is a fairly picture heavy post with 18 pages to show you, I hope you enjoy.
Inspired by the very talented Kate Crane week two had us creating a travel journal from scratch using various objects around the house plus different paintbrush and pen strokes. As always the actual how to is not mine to share as they belong to Kate and the Wanderlust team, but I can tell you I had great fun with this. Don't even ask me where I was going with the different pages, I just went with the flow and filled the pages with the techniques we had learnt.
For the cover I chose the words Create Art from the Andy Skinner serendipity stencil surrounded by Tim Holtz dot fade, the back was just kept simple with dot fade - no wording.

ReplyDeleteOh wow Mo, I LOVE yours! I don't want to share mine now... lol. I really like the blank pages you added, that was such a clever thing to do and the cover is amazing with Andy's stencils. This was my favourite class so far - I can see that I need to 'tart' mine up a bit though!
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see you blogging again! Big hugs, Anne xxx
This is so great!
ReplyDeleteHi Mo
ReplyDeleteJust noticed you blogging again - lovely to see you and your amazing project.

Fantastic to see some more details of your beautiful album, Mo - I love all your doodling, and wonderful use of the shimmering diecuts. There's a great spontaneity and sense of brave experimentation here - and it's really paid off. I was much more conservative, though anything with my own mark-making always feels way out there. Like you, I loved doing the scribbling! Must get my own blogpost up soon.
