New Journal!

I recently bought Dyan Reavley's new Journal by Ranger. It is huge & awesome with an inside pocket, different papers inside including manila card which I want to work with. I have had it for a few months but was scared to start working in it. May be not scared but it is so pretty naked and pristine I wasn't sure about adding my inkiness. A tip someone gave me - it could even be Dyan is to make starting in a journal less daunting start on an inside page not the first page. So that is what I have done-made a start. I had to start her new book  using Dylusions-it only seemed fair.

The colors are bold, rich & vibrant. I added some stamping & Stampotiques lovely happy rain lady along with her spider friends. I felt she needed some rain so using the Crafter's Workshop stencil with modeling paste seemed like a good place to go. She is definitely not finished but I have officially started in my book. Next step is to leave it near me while I work as a wipe off book to get some more background going! Now go do some art!
