Hi everyone,
It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about Exploring the world.
It's been some time since I've made an art journal spread, so I dusted off my art journal and made one for this challenge. I started with a scrap piece of the Materialize Paper Pack and a new sheet. I adhered it together and cut it to the right size. After that I applied a layer of Gesso.
When the Gesso was dry I made a collage with the Expedition Ephemera Pack. After it was all adhered I colored the background with Distress Stain using mini sprayers. Because I used Collage Medium in some places it resisted the Stains. I dabbed off the resisting Stain with a wipe.
With some Distress Crayons I made some definition. Because the Stains couldn't soak in in some places , I picked it up with my finger while rubbing in the Crayons which gave it just a very beautiful subtle effect in combination with Crayons.

Fabulous Sandra - just in awe of your wonderful depth and tone! I am not great at collage - but you have nailed this!!! Thanks for the welcome as guest this month - I feel honoured to be here. Nikki xx
Fantastic pages. Love the colors and composition.
This is such a great page layout! And I am amazed at how you achieved so many layers of depth. This reminded me of a beautiful well-loved travel notebook crammed full of meaningful mementos. Gorgeous!
Cool pages, Sandra! I especially like the brilliant blue with the "explore" and the bit of red across from it on the tag! Beautiful layering of the ephemera. hugs, Maura
