Good Morning All
This weeks prompt was Magic.
Magic can conjure up a number of different possible interpretations, from Harry Potter through to mythical creatures like fairies. I didn't want to go down this route for my journal page. I decided that I want to go back in time and look at a more historical representation of Magic, so I had a look at Alchemy.
To give you a bit more of an insight into Alchemy here is a quote from livescience.com:
James Randi notes in his "Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural," "Beginning about the year 100 and reaching its flower in medieval times, alchemy was an art based partly upon experimentation and partly upon magic. Early investigators of natural processes centered their search on a mythical substance they knew as philosopher's stone, which was supposed to possess many valuable attributes such as the power to heal, to prolong life, and to change base metals into precious metal — such as gold."
These are the elements that I wanted to bring to my page.
Materials
Ranger Distress Ink - Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain
Metallic Brush Markers
Metallic Writing Pen - Gold
Cut out your images, and edge them using the walnut stain ink pad. Using a dauber, add a little vintage photo ink around the edges of the image, bringing it towards the centre. Scrunch up each picture and unfold (this gives the appearance of being handled many times).
Glue all the images down to the page using Mod Podge, being sure to overlap them.
Using the dauber, add more walnut stain ink around the edge of the whole page.
Sprinkle a few of the walnut ink crystals onto your page, and spritz with water allowing a few moments for the crystals to dissolve and run. If it starts to look like it may end up a little dark then you can use some per towel to sponge up some of the ink.
Using the table below and the brush pens, add some symbols along all four edges of the page. It will add more interest if you use two different colours of pens to do this.
Add your quote in using the writing pen and you are finished.
I am including here the images that I used for my page to save you looking through Google for them.

Good Bye Until Next Time
