Art journal page for Craft Stamper July Blog Challenge!

Hi!
It's Friday the 13th, woohoo!
For us crafters it's a lucky day, as Craft Stamper Magazine blog challenge revealed today a lot of new stamping and paper crafting inspiration for our July challenge. Hope you have time to play with us; this month's prize is a great Faith Journaling bundle:

Inspired by the cute girly image by Ia Rafistolerie/Carabelle Studio I made this art journal page:

The die-cut oval background is colored with a red Ecoline liquid watercolour. Once the paper was dry I stencilled some patterns on top of the watercolour:

For colouring the art journal page background I used white and black acrylic paint. I applied the paint first with a brayer, and then softened the finish with a paint dabber.
After gluing the oval on the page I doodled a frame around the edge. A hint of white was needed, too, so I added a tiny white dot inside each doodled circle.

I coloured two stamped images on one go, so the other one I used for a cute bookmark:

Wishing you a wonderful, lucky day!
