Glad you are here journal pages

 

Hi There! thought I would show you how I made these journal pages for my blog post today. 

I began by spreading dylusions paint with my fingers over the two pages.

I gave it a little dry with a heat tool then sponged through a couple of tag inkables using white gesso

I set this aside then stamped the doodle Art mandalas onto stamping tissue using Monarch versafine clair ink. I cut them out and added them to the page using Matte Medium

Next I mixed a little gold mica powder with some water on a piece of acetate and smooshed and blobbed it onto the page, leaving it to dry. 

I stamped the doodle art dragonfly twice on to stamping tissue and twice onto some mixed media paper. I cut them all out and coloured the mixed media paper ones using pencil crayons.

I stamped the mixed messages sentiment onto stamping tissue and cut it out

Back in the journal I stamped a few of the worker stamps from the dragonfly set using embossing ink, then heat embossed with detail gold powder.

Finally I added the sentiment and dragonflies to the page, positioning the coloured dragonflies over the tissue ones to replace the legs and dots I cut off when I cut them out.

Here is the finished page once more.
