Journal Pages

So I finished the journal page that was in evidence on my What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday post yesterday  - like so many of the comments, I always thought the bubbles looked like something from a night sky (indeed, that was my intention all along)  and I incorporated the tag that I made after watching Leandra's video (here)  (you want the stencil bump with fresco video)

The tag IS very like Leandra's but I absolutely love the colours - so I had to have a go for myself -  I made this ages ago and I can't remember what Fresco's I used, they aren't all the same as in her video.   I did a bit of dry brushing of Autumn Fire and Claret Frescos (translucent) over the 'moons' on my journal page, and wrote on it with the white Sharpie (as so many of you asked, I got mine here  I had no idea they were so hard to come by!)

And then I made another page...

First step - stamped the text (from ID08) across both pages, staggering the stamping, in black archival.  Painted over the pages with Pumpkin Soup and Haystack, wiped back with a baby wipe, added more etc!

Added some South Pacific to create a couple of background patches for the Iris (HP1204) to sit on.

Did some dry brushing with the leftover South Pacific randomly down the pages.

Added the dots randomly, stamping again in South Pacific.

Stamped the sentiment from HP1203 onto Paperartsy Crackly tissue paper in black archival and stick to page, wash over with Pumpkin Soup to blend in.

finally (see top pic) I splattered some Indian Ink from the end of a paintbrush, over the page.
