The Architect

 

Today I'm at Art Journal Journey joining our host Mia who can be found at Craftartista.  Her theme this month is Make your own background.

I give you The Architect.  Detail images are below.



  I created the background from a piece of plastic I found in my stash that I dipped in coffee.  This is one side,
 

  and this is the other side.  I stamped it at a 90 degree angle.


That is how I created this background using coffee and a "found" stamp.  I also included a TH paper doll and a computer generated word I outlined in brown pigment ink.
 
Bleubeard and I hope to see you and your handmade backgrounds soon at Art Journal Journey.

This is great, Elizabeth! Love your “stamp”. And of course , if you aren’t drinking coffee, why not stamp with it? The architect theme works well with your created background .

This is a cool background. I have something similar in my stash and when I saw yours I was trying to remember what it came from. :) And my Dad was an architect, but he never made anything like these circles. Grin. Hope your rain has stopped. hugs-Erika

The background with the coffee and the architect is fantastic and creative; it fits perfectly! Great journal page.
