New Pages
I've been playing in my Anti Journal book again, and this time I cut into it; but as per instructions mind you! Haha.
The page prompted me to cut around a circular area and turn it over so that it affects that page and the previous one. You may recognise the wee bit of paper weaving from this page.
Another wee prompt said to 'Be Daring' which I tried to be, but I'm very much a novice at this kind of thing.
That's not to say I'm not happy with the finished result, because I am, I just feel it could have gone further, I just wasn't sure how, without spoiling it.
I started off adding some Neocolor IIs in rough circular motions and swiped them outwards with a baby wipe. I've added some dots of colour with my fingers and some bits of washi tape. I've added some blue, red and green paint with my finger and finally added some neon colour dots with a highlighter pen.
Here's a close-up
So that's it for now, and until next time, take care and thanks for coming by; any comments you leave are most welcome ((hugs)) Mo :o) x
Edited to add, Carolyn Saxby's excellent new Wreck this Journal spread can be seen here.
We have the same birdie tape that you have on your top left page, i really love it! Fantastic to cut up a page and turn it over, brave you! Now i do like your circle of warm exploding Sun style colours looks like you might have affected the Auroras with your explosions. Will keep an eye out tonight & let you know if i see anything lol.

Thank you Karen, I appreciate your lovely comment!
DeleteI started into a new catalogue the day it arrived a couple of weeks ago too, lol. Well, it's better than straight to recycling. We can't hope to make purchase from EVERY catalogue that drops through the door can we :D

Boden is a weakness of mine especially when the sales are on. I should rename myself the Boden Bird haha
DeleteOk, BB, you have good taste and oodles of style. I'm afraid I don't know one lot from the other, I just know they costalot, lol :D
DeleteLove the explosion of colour on the right and the graphic page on the left, they both look so good together.

DeleteThe Neocolour looks fabulous Mo, I love how you did that! You are certainly braver than me, I could never have cut into the page like that - bravo to you!! Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Anne, I'm so glad you like what I did. I'm having fun with all this ((hugs)) xx
DeleteA well reward for your daring! Turned out great. Don't know If I'd have the nerve to.lol : )
ReplyDeleteThank you Angela ((hugs))
DeleteJust fabulous, your anti Journal turns out great.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Sylvia ;o))
DeleteThat was very daring cutting out the circle and changing it round. It must have taken some courage after working on a page beforehand.
ReplyDeleteThe whole double spread works for me Mo and as Brucie would say "Did I tell you, you are my favourite". I've been saying that about everyone of Carolyn's little allotments xx
Thanks so much Lynn, I never thought twice about cutting the circle out tbh, there's nothing precious on either side so I didn't hesitate. Haha, good ol' Brucie. Oh, I declared the Sunflower allotment as my favourite altho' I did love the wee bees :o)) xx
