Art Journalling

I am so excited to start some art journalling in the beautiful Dyan Reavely Art Journal! I purchased 3 of the Dylusion sprays, which are gorgeous! I will definitely have to put more of those on my wish list!

I sprayed the inks on, spritzed water over stencils to create a bleaching effect, sprayed ink through the stencils and turned them over to create a negative impression as well, stamped with black archival ink, used Tim Holtz Distress Stains to stencil flowers, painted the butterflies and bird with Distress Stains, spritzed with Shimmer Spray, and doodled with a black permanent pen and a white Jellyroll gel pen.

This was sooooo much fun! Even after doing all this stuff on the page nothing soaked through to the other side of the paper! It's such a nice journal. I'm so looking forward to trying out lots of new and old techniques.

For lots of journalling inspiration check out http://artjournaling.tumblr.com/page/7 and Pinterest has some great ideas as well!

Dyan also has some great videos out showing how to use her inks and how to create amazing journalling pages. Check out http://youtu.be/4kwJxqKJYj8 .
