Messy journal page

I am fairly new to art journalling and I must admit I am not finding it as easy as I thought I would be!
I really wanted to play with this raven stamp from Crafty Individuals that I bought at Port Sunlight show. I got a bit carried away with the background and then found it was too dark when I came to stamp the raven so had to use a bit of bleach and give him a golden glow ! I'm sadly lacking in inspiration again right now, I really need to get going with Christmas cards but can't summon up Mr Mojo to give me a nudge !

    This is stunning Joan and so inspirational. I love everything about this page and the colours are perfect. I’m a great fan of using bleach on my artwork to lighten things up and the Raven looks even more atmospheric with the glow around him. I’m loving this stamp and I really love this journal page x

    Wow, what an amazing page! The background splatters and smooshing with the beautiful stamping looks so stunning with your raven as the focal point 😀. Using the bleach was a great idea too. It's such a beautiful page, I can't stop looking at it to admire all the wonderful details that you created - perfect! Happy weekend! J 😊 x

    This is a stunning page, Joan. You've captured the essence of a scary night, lit by moonlight and it looks wonderful. I'll rem ember the bleach tip - it worked well.

    I think you're inspired, not lacking in inspiration at all. Lovely work.

    Its a fantastic page Joan, and the bleach was an inspired idea.Journals are all about having fun, no rules. I find it hard to make cards now after playing with inks and layers in my journals.
