I coloured the page using alcohol inks , because it is just card stock the ink soaks in pretty quick. i created the patterns on it using splashes of water and also blending solution. No need to colour the back as the ink soaks straight through.
I used the fabulous new alcohol inks from Letraset, more about those another day, when I have more samples to show you.
I then drew and cut out the shape of an open book, and glued to it images of fantasy characters.
On the back I splodged (technical term) lots of matte medium, dried it with a heat gun then rubbed gold wax over it.
I glued the book images to the front and added my title, and rubbed a little gold around the edges.
Finally I printed out my journalling and added that to the back.
Another genius page - the open book looks fantastic and the gold is so shiny :) - what a treasure you will have at the end of all this.
