Pinworthy Inspiration

Every month we are delighted to welcome our pinworthies from a previous challenge to join us as guest Creative Guides. Our pinworthies are the selected winners of our challenges and today we are pleased to be joined by Shilpa who was a pinworthy in October for our 'Art Journaling with Tim' challenge. It is very apt that Shilpa is sharing some more of her wonderful journal creativity today but this time on our current theme - Vintage Luggage and Travel.

Hello Everyone, Shilpa here. It's a great pleasure to be back as Guest Designer at A Vintage Journey, many thanks to the team for this opportunity!
I am from Bangalore, India. I love everything related to colour and texture. I enjoy creating art journals, working on canvas and altering found objects. I share my creations on my blog - Neon diary.
Today, I would like to share with you a double spread art journal page.
This is a collage journal page and I've used all Tim Holtz designed elements.
For the background, I chose one of the papers from the Wallflower collection. On that I applied a thin layer of antique linen distress ink layer randomly. The leaf branch is die cut from Sizzix garden greens, which I coloured with peeled paint distress stain and vintage photo distress ink.
I've also created layers with Numbers Rubons.
Industrial stickers and Framed Alpha parts are a perfect fit on this masculine page.
As we have A Vintage Travel theme for January challenge, here, I decided to use Tim's Old Jalopy die, I cut it out from the Menagerie paper stack, behind that I adhered metal clocks and ephemera.
Thank you so much for again for your visit, I hope you liked my journal page!

-------

Thank you Shilpa - a wonderful double page!
If this inspires you, do join our latest challenge - Vintage Travel and Luggage.
We are back on Monday with the next stop this month for Destination Inspiration.

Have a creative and enjoyable weekend.
Nikki on behalf of the AVJ Team
