My first journal page

 Hello folks

For Christmas I was given a sketch book so this year I am starting art journaling and here is my first page - 

This main image is from Aall & Create's Steampunk Alchemist stamp set which I have coloured with my Spectrum Noir pens and Illustrator pens- 

• bottles and jars - AB1, AB2, AB3, GB6, GB7, GB10, DG2, DG3 and DG4
• lightbulbs - GB1, GB2, GB3, BG4, BG6 and BG8
• alchemist - FS3, FS9, TN2, GB7, GB10, GB11, BG4, BG6, BG8, EB5, EB7, EB8, IG1, IG2 and IG8

For the background I have used - 

• white stamping card and matt black card
• Distress Oxides - frayed burlap, fossilized amber, speckled egg, gathered twigs and antique linen
• Aall & Create stencils - hugely hexagons and weathered tiles
• Aall & Create stamps - toxic warning and steampunk alchemist
• words from Sheena Douglass' alchemy - learn to see stamp set

I began with a piece of card I had used to mop up my craft mat and then worked on that, adding images from the stamp sets and stencils.

That's all from me today, thanks for stopping by.
