Wanderlust Layout
by Deb Adams
Today I want to share a double layout with a Vintage Travel theme
The focal point on these layouts are copies of original postcards from a private collection.
I scanned & printed them with my ink jet printer onto heavy card stock.
I sealed both sides of each card with Judikins Microglaze to protect the ink.
They hint at a pretty cool story about a brave & adventurous woman,
Auntie Ria (Victoria) who left Australia from Fremantle, WA on the ship shown below.
The other postcard shows she had reached Colombo, Ceylon.
I would have loved to have read her full letters sent home, but unfortunately do not have those.
I continued the Indian theme through to the other page with Elephant stamps from Graphic 45,
real Sari cloth strips, gold & jewels.
The Moroccan tile stencil brings out the blue in the exotic girls clothing & ties the pages together.
This image is another original postcard from that era. The Vintage map includes both Australia & Ceylon.
The Journey & Wanderlust chipboard titles are painted with Turquoise Art Alchemy paint.
I am certain her story included a grand adventure.
Her handwritten postcards are so inspiring even 115 years on!
Thanks for taking the time to read.
Cheers for now
Deb
