It started with the small journal page, then the tag,
next the wood block and I still have to do that small ATC card....
I kept the tag and journal page in front of me while I worked on the "house".
I used the same elements, the printed leaves, and the printed tree,
Heres how it went....
Rip and tear some paper...
Adhere with gel medium...
To both sides
Put a base color on....
Add some stenciling in white
Gesso a spot for the door.....
Off to the internet for some door inspiration....
Love that Door!
I changed the color of mine since I had already painted the house that color...
I Also added some brick around the door....
Figuring out where to place the tree....
then adhered with gel medium....
Cut & adhered the leaves after extending the tree branches with black paint...
I tried to wrap the tree around the whole piece....
Added some dabs of color to fill in the tree...
And a little more white stenciling...
The word Journey from an old book....
Some more whit paint....
and done....
The sides....
