Art Journal Page - 'Round here

This is a page from my small Dylusions journal.

It started out with a small bamboo paintbrush and using India Ink I wrote all over the entire background.

Then I covered the entire thing with a light coat of gesso, just to tone down the writing a bit.

Then I used a stencil and some Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Spray on the to half of the page. I masked of the bottom of the stencil so it made a sort of half-circle just on the top part of the page.

On the bottom half, I used purple acrylic paint and a pallet knife to scrape down.

Finally, I took a small stamp that says 'around here' and called it down.

Simple, but I like it.
Thanks for looking!
