Morning friends,
Back again with some more journal pages. These are in my large Dylusions journal. This first page is "hijacked" from a page I saw in my daughter's journal when she was visiting, so thanks Alyssa!
The page has been covered with maps and roughly aged with Walnut Stain distress ink. I stamped my fantasy border around the edge in blue archival ink and the sentiment was just written in black marker.
I stamped my Travel Mouse onto card and cut out. Colouring is with Distress Markers (very roughly, I must add!)
This next page is the page I made a spelling mistake on and only realised when I had finished it! Not impressed with myself. Still; I was not going to despair and managed to patch it up. I'm sure that you can see what I've done but hey, there are no mistakes in art, only layers.......
I began with a background that had been made with mop up inks a while ago. I stamped the birds onto card, coloured them with Distress Markers, cut them out and glued them onto the page. Once stuck I cut away the page to the left of them (after first checking that I would not ruin the page on the reverse!)
I like the way the cut away adds interest to the page.I stamped a geometric border around the other edges; added my journaling lines and wrote out the words and coloured them in so they stood out.
I finished off with some doodled detail in white pen onto the darker purple areas to break it up a bit.
So, I'm sure that you've discovered my patch up job. If you tell me in the comment what where I've patched it I'll put all the correct ones into a hat and choose one random entry to received a little crafty treat from me......
Hope you have a fun and creative day.

Ahhhh I love these pages Neil, especially the colourful one.
But can't see the mistake, so it just perfect the way it is!
These are fabulous pages, Neil! Love the colors and those birds! Wow! An oops....maybe the word 'timeless'. If not then you did a fab job of disguising it!
Hi Neil, sorry but I can't find you mistake either LOL! You're probably the only one who notices, which I usualy do with my own work too hehe!
Love your pages, both of them! Hugs Frea
Hi Neil.We are our worst critics.The only possible mistake is the T in timeless was originally and I but hey if you had said nothing I would never have guessed.This is my first day commenting on your blog but I have been visiting for ages and I must say I love your work - mistakes and all.
Haha when I saw the preview for this I thought the top page looked familiar :P Looks good!:D
