A little while ago I picked up a Dylusions Journal. Everyone seems to rave about it, I LOVE the Dylusional sprays and Dyan Reaveley rocks! But at first I'm not impressed with the journal. I played around with a paper background then some sprays and stencils and then just left it along because the paper seemed to curl a bit etc. Anyhow, I will continue to play with this journal regardless. Perhaps it's just me.
Here is my layout:
So the background I started with scrapbook/cardmaking papers. I added lots of stencils as well.
All my stamped images are by Unity:
JOURNEY like no other - The butterflies
Becoming Butterfly - The sentiment on the right
Layers of Life kit - The ruler around the edges
Jumprope - in the background
I used my white gel pen on the butterflies. The butterflies were stamped and painted with a thick acrylic paint.
Here is a picture I took of supplies I used:
Here are the 2 pages:
On these pages I decided to test out some new spray that I picked up this week at Michaels - Radiant Rain.
This stuff is really pretty. I tested it on this blue cardstock and it glittered and shined amazingly.
I didn't capture it this fantastic on my journal page but you can see the glitter here you can see it a bit:
I tried to originally mask around the butterflies and try to use it on the butterflies to make them sparkle but that didn't take. I'm thinking maybe it doesn't like the paint, not sure. I will definitely use it again and maybe do a dark background.
Alrighty I think that covers it! If you like to art journal come join us on Facebook at - MIXED UP MEDIA CHIX - ART JOURNAL GIRLZ

Hi Maria,
Your pages are full of beautiful colors, and yummy details. I am have been gessoing the pages in my Dylusions Journal...But before doing that I put duct tape along the center. It works for me because, I don't like when the liquid seeps thru the spine. I have been having a ball with Twinkling H2O's, but I have not tried that spay. Luv the sparkle.
