Journaling Inspiration


Check this out over at d'Blogala. She's doing a prompt every day for the month of November. Today the word is "safe". Excellent.

Above is a journal spread I did awhile back. I laid down colored bleeding (ewww!) tissue paper, and wet it and then, when the color bled out, lifted it. When it was dry I blew some ink around and then found shapes that appeared to be flowers. I did do some writing on this page and some collage. My scanner is still not hooked up to my new computer so that will have to wait.

Blow some ink around and think about the word "safe." Comments are welcome! Go ahead, comment!

This is a great spread! I love the colors and the flowers you saw after laying the tissue. I usually just sprinkle watered down paint and rub the two pages together. I gotta try the tissue... ; )

Love what you've done here Diana and yes, I will blow some ink around and see what happens! Your book is such an inspiration and so full of wonderful tips and prompts!! My fave is actually about putting together a travelling kit-and for the first time I will feel free to art it up wherever I go.
