Jodi Ohl's Art Journaling Class, using collage...

This was not my favorite challenge--probably because is was MORE of an actual challenge!  I wanted to use this picture of Elise and some of the antique doilies from my Great Aunt Ora.  I liked the background, but struggled to get the picture to look a bit less realistic without making my sweetie look like a psycho.  Gel medium is not the adhesive to use with a project you want to draw over.  Next time I'll use more text boxes instead of just writing on the page.  The big "E" is also from my Great Aunt Ora's stash--it's an iron on pattern for embroidery.
