For my October Artfirmation card, I returned to this layout I learned in my Art Journaling class to showcase this quote: Worlds Change When Eyes Meet. This quote also gave me the opportunity to use this "eye" stamp.
I used an old map from my background page. However, the map wasn't quite old enough, so I "aged" it a bit more with some Distress Ink (Tea Dye). To create some balance to the page, I added the chain of circles accent on the left border. I stamped the "eye" on a piece of manila cardstock and hand-colored it with some new markers which really enhanced the imagery. I was really happy with the way this turned out and hope to experiment more with with hand-coloring stamped images. I also aged the edges of the manila cardstock with more Distress Ink (Tea Dye) to better match the look of the map.
To complete my page, I framed the quote in a decorative bookplate die-cut that I made from black cardstock and secured it with two minibrads.
