Now that it's Spring Break, it's the perfect time for travel, or to just play with the Simple Stories (Simple Vintage Traveler) Collection from FotoBella.com, like I did with my latest art journal page.
After priming my page with Prima Marketing Gesso (White), I painted it with a coat of Art Alchemy Sparks Paint (Mermaid Sparkle), followed by Art Alchemy Sparks Paint (Magical Pond), and another coat of (Mermaid Sparkle), for a beautiful water color and sheen.
The vintage map pieces were torn from the same paper in the 12 X 12 Collection Kit and the 6 X 8 Pad. Then I distressed the edges with water and Distress Inks (Old Paper, Frayed Burlap, Bundled Sage, and Tattered Rose). After adding strips of Washi Tape, I made the clouds with a palette knife, using Prima Marketing Gesso (White)
To show my love of flying and being in the air, I added the planes and hot air balloons from the Collage Bits & Pieces, Bits & Pieces, and 6 X 12 Chipboard.
I barely put a dent in my dies, and with so many to chose from, "The Sky's the Limit" on what you can create with the Simple Stories (Simple Vintage Traveler) Collection from FotoBella.com!
