![]() She's started sorting out which bits of ephemera - tickets, leaflets and snapshots - belong to each visit, and is clipping them to each page as reminders for when she comes to write her experiences down later. I like how it echoes the look of sea/land on a map, and again we're bringing the blue-green tones into the interior of the wallet. There's something so perfect about how it captures the golden age of travel, when it was still an unusual, romantic, glamorous thing to do (hmm, and only for the wealthy of course - so perhaps not that golden).Īround the photos and ephemera I added those colours again - the Stormy Sky and Evergreen Bough - first in watery Distress Paint and then the same colour Distress Stains layered over the top. I've tried to choose ones which have that summer holiday happiness about them. They're from the Found Relatives Occasions pack, as you probably already know. She's got some of her favourite photos scattered around, in the midst of deciding which ones to stick down onto the journalling pages. There's not much of the paper left visible as, unlike me, my glamorous world traveller is sorting out her photos and ephemera as she goes (rather than leaving it all until months - or sometimes years - afterwards and trusting that she'll remember what's what and from where). states map from the Correspondence Paper Stash, all apart from the pocket flaps at the back. I covered most of the interior background with the lovely U.S. Then I simply put a thin line of glue down in the depths of each crease and pressed the pages into place, giving them some support as the glue dried! You can see the great pocket flaps at the back here, and that I'd already been using the packaging to spritz the flowers from last week's Summer Garden. I needed a way to bind the pages into the wallet, so I scored and folded some stiff card to create my binding and glued it firmly into the fold of the packaging. You can also see that one side of the paper is much more textured than the other, creating lovely inky variations. You'll see in the finished pages that I also added some shading with Stormy Sky Distress Stain and a water brush, taking the soft blue from the cover through into the inside of the wallet. Then I inked around the shabby edges with Vintage Photo. ![]() I think it was just Pumice Stone DI on the mat. I used my favourite inky smooshing to add some ageing to them. Hitch Fasteners provide the simple closure, with dyed crinkle ribbon wrapped round to keep the wallet closed. They shimmer nicely in the sunlight (when it deigns to put in an appearance!). The words, cut with the Adventure Words Script Thinlits, have had the same treatment as the globe. whereas the Compass Coin got Treasure Gold plus the Distress Paints layered in. ![]() The Quote Band, Muse Token and Philosophy Tags had a simple touch of the White Fire gilding wax with a little fingertip full of Quinacridone Gold. (They all started out in the nickel silver finish.) I also used the Treasure Gold on my metal embellishments. I added Distress Paint in Stormy Sky and Evergreen Bough, spritzed with water to blend, and heated it to cause a texture reaction with the embossing enamel beneath.Ī touch of highlighting with some White Fire Treasure Gold brings that texture to the fore.
