Passport to Art Day 6

Here on this blog I am going to share how I made the page for today's prompt.  Today's inspiration came from the poem 'From a Railway Carriage' and the technique is Dyan Reaveley's shadow stamping.

I put the masking tape on and then gesso over the whole page and the triangle that is folded up.  I decided to fold a small corner down.

I inked the page and then stamped the leaves.

I stamped flowers along the diagonal fold.

I used a paint brush and Dylusions inks to paint the leaves and white and yellow acrylic paint for the flowers.  I removed the masking tape and stuck the quote and verse on the page.

I put my journaling on the inside of the fold.  There is room for more writing!

Thanks for stopping by.

Passport to Art Day 5

If you want to join in with making an altered book through the month of July click through to the Passport to Art challenge blog.

Here on this blog I am going to share how I made the page for today's prompt.  Today's theme is transport and the technique was to include a map on the page.

This is today's page - the other side of the triangle.

This is what it looks like with the previous page showing.

I inked the page with Distress inks and I cut up another page that I had previously torn out.  I stuck it down so that the diagonal edge made a pocket.

I used an aeroplane outline from a Teresa Collins travel pack and stuck this down with the verse and quote.

 I inked the edges of the tag and stamped on the top bits that would show before doing my journaling.

This is how yesterday's page looks now today's is finished.

Thanks for stopping by.
