Sally DT - Never Stop looking up Journal page

 Hi there! Over the last month I have bought a few new goodies so it was time to try them out! Here is a journal page in my 8x8 dylusions journal using several of them. 

I used:

8x8 Dylusions Journal

Dina Wakely gloss sprays in Blackberry, sky, Ruby and Tangerine

Mandala Inkable #7

Bee Crafty Over the moon Stamp set

Bee Crafty La Luna stamp set

Bee crafty Moon and stars sentiment stamp set

Texture paste

Gel medium

Collage paper

Gold embossing powder

Gold gilding wax

Posca pen

Archival ink

Versamark ink

Gold Liquid pearls

A small piece of black card

Here's what I did:

I applied some texture paste through the mandala stencil to the page and left it to dry.

Next I sprayed it with the Dina Wakely gloss sprays, then left it to dry very thoroughly.

I applied gilding wax to the mandala area before setting the journal aside.

I stamped the la Luna and the moon stamps in versamark onto the collage paper and heat embossed with gold powder.

I cut these out and applied them to the page with gel medium.

I used archival ink to stamp some borders and add a few extra details. Some white pen helped to make them stand out a little.

I stamped and embossed the sentiment onto the black card and cut it out.

I added it to the page with the gel medium, and added a few dots of liquid pearls on the circles and at the corners.

This was the first page in my new journal, although it isn't at the front. I want to get used to working on a bigger page before I attempt that. I hope I've inspired you to use some of your stash to make a journal page. 

Do come and share your journal pages or tags over on the Bee Crafty facebook group for this month's challenge.

Thanks for looking!
