Hello! I had fun with the latest challenge at The Library Challenge which features the book Five Weeks in a Balloon. I was not familiar with the story but did some research and learned it was about
"a scholar and explorer, Dr. Samuel Fergusson, accompanied by his manservant Joe and his friend professional hunter Richard "Dick" Kennedy, who set out to explore and travel across the African continent in a balloon." I took inspiration from the colors and layout of the cover but added reference to the story by including a map of their travel in Africa.
Supplies used: Balloon stamp from Repeat Impressions; Memento Toffee Crunch Ink; Copics for coloring; Distress Oxide Ink Broken China for Water Coloring the Sky; Cloud EF from Darice; Explore sticker from stash; Aqua and White Card Stock; Map printed from Internet; Foam.
