Hi Everyone! It's an imaginary trip to Portugal in my art journal today, for Yvonne's A World Of Fantasy Challenge at Art Journal Journey. I've only visited Portugal the once, and I can't even remember the name of the place where I stayed! It was a fun weekend with some girlfriends, one of whom has a holiday home there.
I created a background using some PaperArtsy Fresco Acrylic paints, made some marks, then added journaling, tea stained gauze, some of my recent teabag art, and a Tim Holtz phrase sticker. I finished with splatters of black, white and gold, using paint pens.
I'm impatiently waiting in for a parcel for my daughter to be delivered today. Hoping it comes soon, so that I can make the most of the fine weather, and go for a walk.
Hope you're having a happy Monday!

ReplyDeleteIt was super how you used your teabag art as well.
I have a few fantasy destinations as well, your trip to Portugal sounds like it was/would be fun. Thank you for sharing another great page for the theme at Art Journal Journey.

That page is gorgeous and reminds me of Portugal, even though I have never been there. I guess it reminds me of photos I have seen of Portugal. I love your piece. Hugs-Erika

ReplyDeleteNot sure how I missed this post, Alison. I was offline all day yesterday, so that may be why. I adore how you embellished this with the gauze and the tea bags. This is a gem. Thanks for sharing it with us at Art Journal Journey.
