How about a trip to Sydney Australia? I created a mini book using the newest images from
DarkRoom Door. To see the new release that Rachel just announced check it out here on the
DarkRoom Door blog.
I decided to play with the new
Sydney collection of
Photochips,
Montage,
Filmstrips and
Wordstrips along with a beautiful chipboard book I received as a gift.
The images are striking photos of different focal points of Sydney.
The chipboard was painted with white acrylic paint as a base coat. I added a layer of glimmer mists and Dylusions inks randomly across the background. I cut out the photos and distressed the edges and added highlights to the photos with Copics. I love the effect of the Copic on the image as it adds a slight tint.
The next image made me smile:
I added the color to the face with the Copics and decided to add a touch of carnival fun with the dice from the Fun & Games set.
My last page uses a stamped background using the
Journey Word Block Stamp.
I stamped the same background onto white cardstock to layer behind the beautiful image of the bridge and the skyline. I pulled the word travel from the wordstrips.
Have a blessed Sunday!
