And the Journey Continues....

The Journal journey that is.... but before I carry on, a warm welcome and thank you for dropping by. I am sharing the next double page in my positivity journal and am hoping I don't bore you too much with it.

This one is rather different and much more masculine, but I guess that was the sort of mood I was in. I also felt like playing with monochrome colours.

First I covered the pages with Gesso, then I added texture with Grunge paste through some of Tim's stencils (have you seen the new ones being released at CHA? Wow!) Anyway, after that I added colour with the help of Pumice Stone and Walnut Stain Distress paints and a black Gelato.. Background stamping and remnant rubs plus some tissue tape finished it all up.
Here is a closer look at some of the textures:

As you can see, it looks as if there are no pockets this time.... ah well, there actually are, because I adhered two pages together on either side with tissue tape and so created quite large pockets to have space for much larger journaling spots. Here you can hopefully see how:

These tags were created with the help of some Prima journaling cards that I have had in my stash like forever. All I did was adhere them to some Kraftcard and then added a bit of inking around the edges.

Here you can see all 5 of them, so space for many days of journaling.

Well, that's it for today. I will add this to the Countryview Crafts Challenge blog where the theme is Monochromatic.

Thank you so much for visiting today and I really, really appreciate the time you take to leave your lovely comments. They make my day!
