Imagination and logic

I had found the perfect quote for the Craft Barn challenge, one that included both words, by Albert Einstein : Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.
I already had it planned... a path from "A" to "B" with the letters from logic and the word imagination meandering all over the page.
But... it had been used by Pauline on the sample projects so I found another which I quite like too!


The canvas idea is translated by the use of canvas as a base for my page, very literal you say... ahem... I was kind of hoping I would provide the imagination but that isn't my strong point!

I created a background by colouring through 3 different stencils, then stamped my World map with Versafine. Since I had used a water-soluble medium, I could tone down the stencilled colours over the map by re-wetting and lifting up with kitchen roll.
I then coloured the map with India ink (Pitt pens) to make it more prominent.
 
To finish I hand wrote and stamped my quote.
 
This heat wave is not very conducive to crafting so keep cool and carry on creating!
