Happy first Friday of 2015! That sounds so super space age-y to me. I cannot believe it's already 2015. Gah!
Today I'm sharing the first few pages from a new art journal I started in November. Take a peek and let me know what you think!
I felt that the black dashes were too dark, so I used a white pen to lighten them up!
The day I started with spread was also the day my new Balzer Bits arrived! I had to try them out!
This is also a new Balzer Bit, enhanced with some neon pen action!
You may recall that I posted a tutorial on creating the foil tape letters you see on this page back in October.
I'm still in love with white embossing powder on a black background!
Most of the emossing on this page was done on stamped designs, but the triangles are a stenciled pattern.
I can't stop trying out my new Balzer Bits! Wheeeee!
There is a lot of "ghosting" on this page. I tried out some of my new Balzer Bits using Adirondack Spray Inks. It doesn't "fix" — instead it comes up through gesso. So I tested out some Bits and then when I painted over the page with gesso, the ghost images floated up.
It's a pretty cool look!
Here is this week's linky list:
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Julie, happy new year! I’ve been watching some of your videos and some blog posts and am inspired by your work. These pages are so cool! I love your use of bold colours and stark contrasts. And inspired by a quote I saw on your blog and your work, I made a page and added it to your linky party. Thanks for hosting and thanks for the inspiration!

Love the unexpected “ghosts” that floated up in your journal layout. Good stuff! I also love the little round face. So many possibilities.
My word for 2015 is “Do.” Paraphrasing Yoda: There is no “Try.” Do!
Wishing for a happy, healthy, creative new year for us all.
