Journey

hello and happy Monday.
happy day for my kids as they exams are getting over. they have already made plans with their friends with me being a mere driver.
Anyways this gave me time to make this layout for my dear husband . ( celebrating fathers day).
he is quite a traveler. Loves to explore and have insatiable diet  to visit new places specially National parks.

I started with pasting the pic on corrugated board and painting it to extend the picture.
then stenciled the background  and used various blue, and browns .
Then I used the clock stencil to add another layer on it.
then stamped journey stamps here and there.
stuck the net using hot glue gun . then added tim holtz time traveler ephemera  adding more depth to it.
small piece of burlap gave more texture and layer to the layout and also the masculine look.
I stamped the gears on Kaisekraft papers and fuzzy cut them.
Added crackle paint to the Creative embellishment Compass and applies some decoart Metallic copper paint on it.
Finally stamped some birds and also drew some with sharpie on the picture,
