Today I'm joining Chris at Pear Shaped Crafting, our host this month at Art Journal Journey with her theme We're all/going. And because Try it on Tuesday's fortnightly theme is Splatters and Splodges, I'm once again joining their challenge, too.
It seems today we are going to Tuscany. I had hoped to have the other side finished, but that didn't happen. 
Tuscany is not a town, but a region made up of many towns. It is located in central Italy.
I was lucky to find this same image in two different travel brochures.
After lots of careful reading and studying, I believe this is Vernazza, one of the five towns in the Cinque Terre region. Most notable are the Doria Castle seen on the right in both photos, which was built to watch for and protect against pirates, and the Church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia, the tall yellow steeple seen best on the left in the top image, and less easily in the bottom image.
The distinctive landscape is more evident inland than on the coast.
We'll see that landscape tomorrow in part 2 of our visit to Tuscany.I began this spread splattering blue handmade shimmering mist on a sheet of 9 X 12 inch black construction paper. Once the splatters were dry, I added the two focal images I found in two different travel brochures, and five strips of blue washi tape. Computer generated words were colored using a water soluble crayon.Thank you for joining me today. I also hope you will join Bleubeard and me at Art Journal Journey as well as Try it on Tuesday.

Oh Italy! Let me go pack my bag. I love the splatters i the background again-thanks again for supporting us at Try It On Tuesday! The handmade shimmering mist works so well on the black paper. And nice photos too. Not what I think of when I think of Tuscany which makes it so much better as it is a surprise. Hope its going to be a good weekend. hugs-Erika

Looks like a lovely place to visit.
I am really on a catch up and didn't realise I'd missed the fist stages of the Tuscany visit. The pages just look so inviting , for sure they have the 'wish you were here' factor.
Thank you for sharing with us at TioT's Elizabeth, a super spread for the theme.

What a delight this page is! You really are lucky to find those two images of the same area! It looks such lovely area! I love how the shimmering mist makes such brilliant spatters! Thank you so much for sharing your page at Try It On Tuesday and also for another page for Art Journal Journey! I will gladly head to Tuscany with you dear Elizabeth! Chrisx
Wow - those rainbow-coloured houses are amazing, well worth celebrating on this lovely page. I've been to Tuscany a couple of times, but up in the mountains, not at the coast. That's definitely a place for the travel wishlist!

Tuscany is on my bucket list. You catch the warmth and beauty of what I imagine it to be.
Another wonderful travel page Elizabeth. Tuscany is high on my wish list and the images you used look fabulous against the black splattered background.
Thanks for sharing these with us at Try it on Tuesday.
