Daily Journaling Week 44

I'm following the prompts of the original Documented Life 2014. Week 44 : Incorporate Leaves
And from the blog for Life Documented 2017 HERE : 
Prompt: To incorporate a pretty pocket and elements of a bullet journal in your layout.
Technique:  Use deli paper and the art of brush calligraphy (you can use India ink if you have any or simply use watercolours and a brush)
This week I decided to use the prompts quite literally to develop my page over a few days. My base had left-over paint swiped on it - have decided I'm better with a blank page so will not be continuing this practice in future! Incorporate leaves - lovely metallic paint over stencils

I had already decided I'd use a blank library card to journal on, so that determined the size required for the pretty pocket. It was a good opportunity to use some bits from my box of painty papers.

Deli paper - again I dug into a box of samples - this time a gelli-printed page which I was attracted to first for the stars,

but then realised it also contained lovely metallic leaves. Cutting out the shapes worked well - stars and metallic keep my word SHINE alive in my work

And I'm enjoying adding more stitch (on the pocket too)...and found words of course ♥
Decided for the brush calligraphy to just add some Dylusions sprayink to an empty water brush

Not that fussed on how this looks, but it gets better with some finishing touches later....

My version of bullet journaling : 

and here's the completed spread - black pen outlining finished it nicely. Click on any photo to see it larger.
