Passport to Art Day 31

Here on this blog I am going to share how I made the page for today's prompt.  The last day - welcome home!

Today's challenge was to add bunting to the page and to sum up the journey of the last 31 days.

I put gesso on the pages and sprayed ink and let it run down the page.  I stuck the folded page to the page behind it to make a pocket for the tag.

I inked the tag with Distress Inks and stamped the bunting with Vermillion Archival Ink.

I cut triangles from the painted paper I had left over from the Dyan Revealey bleachout technique and glued them to the page along the line I had drawn with black pen.  I added the map strip, the quote and the verse.

I used Black Soot Distress Ink through a stencil to added the triangle pattern.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have enjoyed seeing how I have put together the pages of my altered book.  Come back tomorrow to find out about the finished book.

Passport to Art Day 30

Here on this blog I am going to share how I made the page for today's prompt.   Today's prompt asked where you planned to travel next.  The technique challenge was to use your favourite technique from the month but as I had missed out the Dyan Revealey Ghosting technique I did that instead.

Here's the next few pages.

I put gesso on the page and when it was dry, sprayed the fuchsia ink and the black on the page.

I stamped the leaves.

I put gesso on the folded page, sprayed it fuchsia and stamped the leaves.

Using a water brush I painted inside the lines of the leaves and dabbed it with a paper towel which removed some of the ink.

I used a dark green ink to paint in the leaves.  However the gesso absorbs the paint and the leaves are much lighter.

I stuck the folded fuchsia page to the page behind to make a pocket for the tag.  I used Distress Inks on the tag and stamped the leaves.  I used the waterbrush on the leaves in the same way as the page but didn't paint them again.

I added some map paper and the verse and quote.

Thanks for stopping by.

Passport to Art Day 29

Here on this blog I am going to share how I made the page for today's prompt.  Today's journaling was about your favourite place.  The technique challenge was to use watercolour paints and clingfilm.

Today's page is the one on the right.  I decided to fold it over to make a pocket on the right hand side of the page.

I used Dylusions inks which are water based instead of watercolour paints on a piece of watercolour paper.

I bought myself an embossing folder that I had seen Ann using on her page for Day 2.  I used a piece of the map page in it and then inked over the embossed page before cutting out the boot prints.

I inked and cling-filmed the tag.

I cut up the paper and stuck it onto the main page and a strip on the folded part.  I made a pocket for the tag and stuck on the map strip, the boot prints, the quote and the verse.

Thanks for stopping by.
