Memory - art journal page

Hi, crafty friends! I am back today to share with you my 'Memory' art journal page I've created for Linda Ledbetter's Compendium of Curiosities 3 challenge #30 . This challenge is about the Faux cracked glass technique (described in Tim Holtz's Compendium of Curiosities 3, page #54). The generous sponsor of this challenge is The Funkie Junkie Boutique. I've started with several DI for the background and some stamping and stenciling using several different Archival inks. The stencils I used are from TCW and Tim Holtz. Most of the stamps are from Tim Holtz and I used two of Paper Artsy's. I used the faux cracked glass technique on a piece of acetate from one of the Alterations packagings. I used some Deco Art Media products to achive the patina effect (Andy Skinner's technique) on Pocket watch die.

Challenges:
Try it on Tuesday blog challenge - Watches and Clocks
Eclectic Ellapy challenge blog - Purple team - Steampunk
Altered Eclectics June challenge - Anything goes
Art Journal Journey challenge - Masculine/Feminine
Moo Mania June challenge - Anything goes

    Hi, Branka! Love your journal pages and the crackled pocket watch! Two great minds...working on something similar for my husband's Father's Day card. Your cracked glass technique is FABULOUSLY done and your coloring just yummy! As always, you are the Queen of Steampunk, and your composition is perfect! Well Done, my friend! Hugs! Sara Emily

    Wow Branka, I am so in love with this one!! As you know I have just recently dipped my toe in the pool of journalling and I have a new appreciation for the work that goes into these pages! Your colours are blended perfectly and that black stamping just adds an amazing extra touch of grunge to the steampunk feel. A very inspirational page my friend!

    OK, back to work now...Thank you so much for joining us at Try It On Tuesday for our 'Watches/Clocks' challenge! Hugs, Pamellia DT :)

    Samra-cakes is correct. This is amazeballs! Love that cracked effect on the acetate and the depth of color in the cracks. Tutorial on that please, my cracks never work, let alone hold any color. All of the wonderful stamping on this awesome sauce piece brings it to life! Loves it! Hugz to you muffin! ~Niki

    My news feed appears and I see 'VintageHandmade', and my mind goes straight to pooh what delights has Branka got to share... I'm am soooo always glad I have a good oggle here!! lol! Love the colours, blue, yellow, greens are always so powerful in my mind, they flow beautifully! Your crosshatch border frames the page to draw the eye in to that oh-so-very-true sentiment.
    Stunning hun as always, and just want to say a huge thank you for your wonderful comment on my Friday Focus post - I must admit I was nervous about that, you guys make putting yourself out there that much easier!

    Love the colored background and how it strengthens your images. The clock being more dimensional finishes it off perfectly.

    Beautifully done art journal pages! Your faux cracked glass technique on the acetate clock face is a great idea. You did a beautiful job on the technique and it really give that embossed pocket watch some added character. I love the blended colors you used, the black stamping and your design of your art journal pages. Beautifully done! Thanks so much for sharing your faux cracked glass clock face with us at CC3C. <3 Candy
