Jeudi Journal

Not sure whose choice this is as I did send some themes over to Wendy and asked her to put colour choices in so it could be a mix - Wendy will know.  The theme was Steampunk (which makes me think it was my idea as I am a bit of a fan LOL) and the colours were Vintage Photo and Tea Dye.

This one has a bit of influence from a friend of mine who was crafting with me the day I decided to do it.  Had to be done in advance as I was away over the weekend and knew there wouldn't be much time when I got back (and I would be exhausted after a weekend with the Mixology Gang - yeah!)  The background was done with Vintage Photo and Marmalade and then a paper Tea Dye border was added with a crackle stamp randomly over it.  I outlined the edge with black to finish it off. 

A stamp of some cogs in Archival Sepia were scattered all over the page and the "Deep Red - Lady Captain" was stamped on Tea Dye coloured paper.  (She was also stamped on white and on blue and it was a difficult decision which image to use).


The words started off as a suggestion by my friend but then he said he was a 'rebel' whilst we were talking of something else and so they got changed, just a little, to include that word - a lightbulb moment!  I used Mustard Seed to colour the paper for the words.

A little dull compared to previous posts but hey ho, steampunk lends itself to dark colours and these were what were prescribed.
