Just Imagine & Make Your Mark- art journal spread

Hello,
Today I am coming back to the type of projects I really love- art journal spread. This one in particular was made for the ITAC’ 17 challenge on Aall and Create blog (#itac17 #itac17challenge1 #aallandcreate).
And since the subject of the 1st challenge is Europe I tried to portray my vision of Europe on this pages. There are torn pieces of the old maps glued to the pages, washi tape with Eiffel Tower, stars to symbolise European Union, German and English fonts in the background, pieces of ribbon, burlap and sawing (inspired by DeeDee Catron I just bought myself a sawing machine and since one week I am sawing like crazy, lol:). For the modern twist I added in the background Matrix stamp by Creative Embellishments.
