Hello again! Ellen Vargo here again to share part 2 of my art journal video series. Thanks for all the lovely comments on yesterday's background video.
Today we'll be doing some collage work using stamps and map paper. Here's another sneak of where we are heading by the end of tomorrow, but for today you will need some black archival ink, a few of my stamps, and perhaps an old map book.

Tonight you will learn a great way to use up those brayering painted leftovers!
And how to randomly add them to last nights BG for another level of interest.
Then we explore how adding some collaged atlas-scraps can change the whole composition yet again.
Are you ready? Let's get started!
Tomorrow we'll finish up the page with some lettering and paint pen embellishments... hope you'll come back and check it out, See you tomorrow!
