My Latest Journal Page

Today has dawned damp and dark again here in my bit of Cornwall, so depressing !  I hope you have better weather and the sun is shining on you wherever you are in the world.

The project I'm sharing with you today is a journal page which I completed recently.  I haven't done much journaling in the past few months and had lots of fun allowing this page to grow and change as I worked on it with no real plan - just allowed my imagination freedom to develop.

Here's a couple of close up shots

My journal has black pages so I first used gesso on the page before starting.  The left side of the page design was created on a sheet of linen finish cardstock and then adhered to the journal page. 

I used the following tools and materials:-

• Vision INKcognito stamp byVisible Image
• Linen finish cardstock
• Ken Oliver's Colour Burst Pigment
• Memory Box Stencil - Texture Rings and Puddles; Garden; Alpha Worn Out (to create words on left side image)
• Heidi Swapp Butterflies Stencil
• TCW Stencil
• Organic fibres (I believe it was made from banana leaves)
• Stampendous Aged Gold Frantage
• Distress Paint in Sapphire
• Distress Inks - Cracked Pistachio; Fossilised Amber, all applied using a round blending tool) 
• Black Archival Ink
• Black Pitt Pen
• White Signo Uni Ball Broad Pen
• Masking Fluid
• Ranger Transparent Texture Paste

That's it from me, I hope you enjoyed your visit today, tomorrow I think I'll share some sewing I've been doing lately.

Have a great day whatever you have planned.
