Art journal page - Magic

Hi and welcome :0). This is my new page for a 6.5"x 6.5" (ca. 16,5 x 16,5 cm) art journal.

I found this small, but awesome filigree die which reminded me an oriental window. So I created a page inspired by it. I started with my Distress oxide ink pads in blues and greens and used a moroccan trellis stencil with Versamark ink to achieved tone on tone "wallpaper" background. From another scrap of paper with Distress oxide inks in shades of violet on it, combined with a Tim Holtz gold kraft cardstock, I created my windows and circle. This gold cardstock was also used for the border and small gold details on the page. To brighten my violet parts up, I covered them with Distress Glaze, so it looks like I used Distress inks and not Distress oxide - the Glaze taken the pigment part of the Distress oxides away and only the bright dye part left. 
My characters are from Hero Arts older stamp sets. I'm very happy how this page turned out :0)
 
Thank you for your visit and see you next time :0)
