Journal52 - 7: When I grow Up

Today I share with you a new page of my 

Art Journal. For week 7 the promt is:

"When I grow up....."

Well,I always wanted to be a teacher

and I found this cute photo of myself

being the teacher to my brother and sister (twins).

I scanned the picture and cut it to size.

Then I took a white piece of cardstock

and mounted the photo on the cardstock.

With a photo border scissor I cut around the photo

and added some brown ink to give the picture

an even more vintage look (the picture is from 1959).

When I became a teacher ( I am a handicraft and textile craft

teacher,but also a normal day school teacher),there was no

digital board, only the old fashioned black board.

So I painted my page black and then took a Tim Holtz

alphabet stencil and white acrylic paint.

When this was dry i sprayed white linnen Dylusion

spray over the page.

I added some typical school handwriting with

a white gelpen and drew some fun pictures.

And this is the finished page:

Thanks for looking.

Have a creative day!
