It's time for another
Compendium of Curiosities Volume 3 Challenge over on Linda's Studio L3 blog. For the 8th challenge, the Curiosity Crew have chosen Tim's 'Faded Layers' technique. This was a great chance for me to break out my Alcohol Inks. I love the many effects you can achieve with these little beauties. My entry this fortnight is this travel themed panel which I shall use as a cover for a journal. As is customary, I won't be sharing Tim's Faded Layer Technique but if you want to have a go you can find Tim's easy to follow instructions on page 58 of CC3. If you haven't got a copy, you can order one directly from Tim by following the
link here.
The challenge this fortnight is sponsored by the lovely
Funkie Junkie Boutique with a generous $25 gift certificate. There is also a fabulous prize package of goodies from our favourite guys, Tim and Mario, for the Crew's favourite entry and if that's not incentive enough, you could also be awarded an Honourable Mention. Which brings me very nicely to expressing my thanks to all of the Curiosity Crew for awarding me with an Honourable Mention for my Painted Industrials project. It really made my week ! x
A beautiful effect on the background and there is a lovely sense of movement, as though the plane is actually in flight.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for your honourable mention.

ReplyDeleteWow, you just made this one under the wire! Your technique worked really well on both your background and the globe.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! I ADORE this panel you are going to use for a journal cover! It's fabulous! The faded layers background you've created is really beautiful! I love the brown tones behind and the blue/teal vintage globe on top. THAT POPS like crazy! I also like your design with the "JOURNEY" stamped to the left and the airplane overhead.
