Scribbling journal page

Morning all I have a journal page to share with you today.

The technique for this page I learnt at an art journal class at Art From The Heart. 

This technique is very therapeutic and one I have used a number of times. This is the latest page using this method.

 Its created in a vintage ledger that I recently received as a gift from a totally lovely person.

You can say what you want and it doesn't matter as no one can read it but just getting it down on the page helps.

After writing all over the page I then wrote over the top with a sharpie pen.

I then coloured around the letters with Dylusions Cherry Pie ink in a water brush.

I then when around the letters with a Sakura Glaze pen.

I then went around the letters again with a white pen. 

Here is the final page.

Thank you for stopping by today

All supplies are from Art From The Heart (except the ledger)

First and latest Dylusions stamps.

Afternoon.

Over on Facebook there is a challenge to create a page using your first and latest set of Dylusions stamps and also the colour blue. 

Here is my interpretation. 

My first set of Dylusions stamps was Doolally Dorris and the last one I got was Pin Up Queen.

The writing I did myself in Dyan's style. 

All the doodling around the edge is done freehand. 

I used London Blue Dylusions ink in the doodling around the edge and also inside the larger writing. 

Thank you for looking.

All supplies can be obtained at Art From The Heart.
