I knew my mate Kirsty had done a fab little tutorial on using promarkers for backgrounds, so I thought I would use that this week. See it HERE.
I wanted my background to look like a worn old map, so I used browns and greens... i did the back exactly the same.
then I grunged the edges further with orange and brown distress ink.
I glued on some collage images, torn from a watch catalogue, of a map, a watch and some ancient pilots. I blended the edges in a little with acrylic paint.
Added my text..., and blended the edges of that.
and finally added my journalling on the back.

Loved Kirsty's tutorial, what great ideas. Is that alcohol blending solution she's using? The stuff you use with alcohol inks? I guess that makes sense. That's opened up a whole new world of possibiities with Promarkers for me. Great work Darcy, keep it coming.
