I thought it would be different if I was to introduce a black piece of cardstock into my journal for Fur and Feathers.
First of all I made a small piece using Peeled Paint and Crushed Olive Distress Inks for my background, and then I used one of my favourite stencils (from the year dot) 'Diamonds in the Rough' on the small piece with some texture paste. I wanted something a bit Art Deco'ish and so I used one of my long thin strip stamps that rarely see the light of day anymore in Nocturne
I have no idea where the picture came from originally but it was in my Collage Box and would appear that they did not always use young girls to advertise Pears Soap but used beauties of the age too. As she was wearing the most delightful fur stole (I hope it was fake) she fit the bill perfectly for my theme at Art Journal Journey.
I then placed the piece on my black cardstock and pondered how to elongate the texture paste onto it. In the end I just replaced the stencil and drew with a white pen to carry the central focal image to the whole page. A quick punch along the top and it was inserted into my journal.
I hope you decide to join me and the others with your interpretation of "Fur and/or Feathers"
