I got some really cheap Kraft journals from Sainsbury's earlier in the week (74p each to be precise!) so I got one out and primed the pages. I then used distress inks to create a kind of kaleidoscope background, it was at this point I realised I was sadly lacking in materials, no distress stains, no panpastels, very little in the way of acrylic paint; hey ho! But I did have a lot of stamps and varying types of ink pad and an array of colours in those, so most of my colour pallet would come from their.
I used Paper Artsy Stamps, Andy Skinner Stamps from Personal Immpressions and KaiserCraft Stamps for the images and Paper Artsy die to frame the word from the dictionary - as it was celluloid the film cel was most appropriate.
Not too shabby for a first attempt at journalling.
