Theme Thursday this week have a Torn Paper challenge and the challenge at Lots to Do is Architecture, so I combined the two to get this.

1 july 1

After sticking some torn book pages to the background, I used Ecoline inks and played with spraying some watered down gesso, as per this technique, highlighted by Hermine one day last week.
