A first page in my black journal

Hi There! I thought it was time I did a couple of pages in my Dylusions black journal. I hadn't started it yet, despite having it for several months! 

I began by brayering 5 colours of Dylusions shimmer paint down my pages.

I added distress texture paste at opposite corners through the fernando big ones inkable.

Next I stamped some of the smaller Doodle art Mandala stamps in versafine clair ink in the spaces. 

I also stamped a range of the mandalas from both sets onto scraps of white card. 

I coloured these using highlighter pens (These are Zebra Mildliners and have a fine tipped end that is good to colour with) and cut them out.

I also stamped and cut out the top half of the sentiment from ticker tape 1.

I stuck these onto the page using matte medium. 

Here is the finished page at two different angles so you can see the shimmer. I was tempted to add more stamping in the background, but didn't want to cover up the shimmer paint. 

I used:

Dylusions mini black journal

Shimmer paint in Fresh Lime, Polished Jade, London Blue, Crushed Grape and Bubblegum Pink. 

Ranger Mini brayer

Distress Matte Texture paste

Big ones inkable - Fernando

Doodle art mandalas 1 and 2 (available as a bundle and seperately) 

Ticker Tape 1 stamp set

highlighter pens

Versafine Clair ink

White card scraps

Matte Medium
