Hello everyone! Today I thought it would be fun to play in my Dylusions Journal and create a magical art journal spread with bright colors.

I wanted to use some watercolor media and let them do most of the work for me so I decided to mix some of the gorgeous Ken Oliver Color Burst powders with a few hints of my favorite peerless watercolors.

At first, I thought I would go for a warm color palette but once I put some of the gorgeous Chartreuse powder on my page I decided to add some blues and reds. I added some Turquoise and Tangerine powder and let them spread and blend on their own.

Once the background was dry, I took two die cut pieces I cut out using the Heart of Gold die by Neat & Tangled and stuck them on my page. I made sure to add some more color behind the die cut pieces with my Peerless watercolors where it was needed.

To add some more details, I took a Tim Holtz mini blending tool and added some white dylusions paint through a stencil. I tried to add the paint at the places that had darker colors so the design was visible. I also decided to go in with a paintbrush and add some more white paint on some areas.

For the last stage of my spread, I went back to my peerless watercolor palette and I added a few splatters around the page. I tried to focus on the areas with light colors and over the white paint. Then I took a tiny brush and made some random marks on the left side just to add more color and detail.
