CJ entry for Cronie - How do you feel today?

Well, you asked! How do I feel today? Here's your answer.

I used an image from a magazine advertising the museums of Cognac as it seemed to fit the bill. I cut it out and stuck it down with gel medium on a gessoed page, then added lots of red, orange and yellow paint. I used a Tim Holltz clock mask, although you can barely see it, and some Timmy stamps. Once I rubbed off the image it was a bit patchy but it reminds me of many of the old houses here which have painted adverts on which are now peeling and fading, so it stayed out of the bin! Stamped the title with some Technique Tuesday stamps, added glossy accents and white oil pastel shadows, then stamped the words underneath with some other stamps which I can't recall the make of. The title looks patchy (Stazon ink is drying out) which I like, and cloudy because I took the picture before the glossy accents had dried. I'm pleased with the overall effect, and hopefully it's art journally enough to fir the bill.
