This week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge theme is to "add a photo." Add a photo I did! One year while on vacation, I took a picture of this sweet-looking retro van that was parked in the middle of a forest. I've always wondered what its story was and wanted to highlight it for today's journal page.
I glued my photo to the page using a UHU glue stick. With a palette knife, I smeared some white acrylic paint around the edges. While the paint was still wet, I shook on some Infusions color stain (A Bit Jaded and Slime) and spritzed it with water using my Distress Sprayer.
I used a heat tool to dry things out, then used Tim Holtz's Stitched stencil and Dylusions' Pure Sunshine paint to add some orange X's to the scene. I also smeared some acrylic paint around the edges (Dina Wakley's Mineral, Peacock and Olive).
I added little touches of magenta and went looking for a sentiment that reflected a sense of adventure. I found the perfect one in Dina Wakley's Collage 2 book, Vol 1. I cut it out and glued it to my photo.
And with that, I was done!
Here are the supplies that I used that you can find at Simon Says Stamp:
