Here is a few step by step photos of the making of this journal page 

Covered my journal page with two sheets of Tim Holtz paper and Applied Gesso and Brushio paints 

Stamped round the edge with white paint using junk iteams 

Added red and black ink around the outside

Using Stamptique rubber stamp 2 cute , stamped with white Staz on

Added more white paint round outside

Added photo and quote but needed more white paint so removed them and rolled the pages with white paint And used another stamp from stampotique with lots of hearts on and stamped across the top!
