Circle Journal

So last week it was posting time again for the circle journal girls.

This time i was making a page and a tag for Marie, after stalking her I found out she loves the beach...so I decided on a Seahorse themed page.

I sketched the seahorse first..



















then inked the main lines in..


















and coloured it with watercolour pencils.. before cutting it out...


















I sprayed the book pages..















and then painted a couple of iridescent glazes over them.. at this point I also tangled the seahorse..












next I drew and coloured some underwater plants and fishies.. I stamped some bubbles and  then allowed some paint to drip down the pages. i went over the drips and the plants with glittery gel pens.















Finally to make the seahorse sparkle i added some silver leafing, he kinda looks like he has barnacles stuck to him now lol





















Then I stuck the page together and added my title, which is the name of a song from the film The Water Babies.. i also added some rays of light coming down into the water just using a white prisma pencil.
















Finally I coloured the tag and added this quote..

  3. This is as usual fantastic Darcy. So can't wait to see all our journals complete ... I imagine a fair amount of swapping them around and oohing and ahing in July.
