Oh, the Places You'll Go!

Last week my new Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle was delivered and I instantly christened her Wanda!

Her arrival has been very much celebrated in our household for it has meant a while new sense of freedom for me!

I was instantly inspired to create a journal page for Wanda, and used a favourite Dr Seuss quote, which fitted the theme perfectly!
   

   
I did take some artistic licence and change "You'll" to "We'll" though!

I used the following materials:
      
Gelatos
Embossing Paste
Mod Podge Matte
White cardstock primed with Gesso

Posca Paint Marker (White, Black)
   
Scrap patterned paper (for the suitcases)

Are you Left Brained or Right Brained?

Yep, time for another Art Journal Page!
     
 
Personally, I think I'm a mixture of left and right brained, but with far greater emphasis on the right!

I used Gelatos for the colourful right side of the page and Posca Paint Markers for the writing and doodling!

This page is in my A4 Dylusions Journal.
   
         

 
       

Thank you as always for popping by.
