Travelling Journals

A couple of nights ago I shared with you my WIP of the journal page which was also my faces #4 and #5 for the 29 Faces Challenge.

I finished that page today putting me even further behind in the challenge but I'm not going to sweat it, I'm just going to simply continue working at my own pace and do what I do, and that's all I can do! lol

In trying to get 2 birds stoned and accomplish multiple tasks at once I have been trying to combine the challenge with other projects I have on the go so the journal page that I have been working on is part of a project I am doing called Travelling Journals where everyone in the group starts a journal and sends it out and it gets passed to each person in the group all over the world, each person doing a single page in each journal and every journal coming back completed to the person who started it.   This journal page below is one that I have done in one of my groups members journals and I will be mailing it off to the next person on Monday.

Heres a pic of my current WIP, its also a mixed media ACEO but doesn't have quite so many layers as the last one did.  I started out with a piece of cold press watercolor paper cut to size.  Ripped a piece of newsprint slightly smaller then the card and sealed it down in the middle of the card using Mod Podge. I then distressed the entire card using Tim Holtz distressed inks in Broken China (blue) and Spiced Marmalade (orange) (I told you I'm really digging those colors right now lol thats 3 ACEO's in a row with that color combo!!)  Next I distressed just the edge in Black Soot (black).  I used a honeycomb stencil and sprayed a golden orange color of Smooch Spritz at one end and a blue color at the other end thru the honeycomb stencil.  Im not sure what the proper names are of the Smooch Spritz are cuz they dont say it on the bottles and I thru out the packaging when I bought them so it is what it is. lol  Next I added a small piece of striped blue washi tape at the bottom right corner and then I drew out a girl on tissue paper, cut her out and sealed her to the ACEO using gel medium.  I give my reasoning behind why I do this in tissue paper in yesterdays post near the bottom if you are curious.   Finally I just started to paint the girl in before I took the pic so thats where Im at now....

I am planning on using blue for her hood since you really dont see much of the blues that I already used, the orange is very over powering and the girl covered up a good portion of it too.  I should have this ACEO finished tomorrow to share with you.  

Thanks for checking out my art! Ciao for now! ♥
