Hello everyone,
Happy Thursday! For today's Vera Lane Studio post I have made a journal spread. Journaling is still my favourite thing to do.. I have used the newly released set 'Carmen Miranda'. She was a Portuguese-born Brazilian singer, dancer, and actress. Nicknamed "The Brazilian Bombshell", she was known for her signature fruit hat outfit that she wore in her American films. Anyway, I had fun putting these pages together.
I started with printing and colouring the images. For the colouring I used Copic Markers, I then cut them out. Next I started on the background which is made with Distress Oxide inks and a blending tool. I applied orange, yellow and green and splattered with water. I then used a brayer and white paint to tone it down even further. I added splatters and some stencilling. This stencil is by Janet via AALL & Create. It is called Margarita Dreams #185. Next I added some stamping with black ink with a textstamp from a set also by Janet via AALL & Create (African Voices #692).
I then placed the images on the page. I drew the branch and the little flowers and placed the bird and the leaved on it. Carmen was placed on the opposite page. Lastly I added the sentiment.
You'll find 'Carmen Miranda' HERE.
Thank you for stopping by today !
Gorgeous
