I had no trouble choosing a theme for October in my bullet journal, would it be leaves, leaves or leaves? I die-cut a surround circle mask to protect most of the page, a technique I used in August, April and January. I cut leaf masks from post-it notes using the ‘autumn jewels’ dies from Penny Black.
The same mix of inks carries through on all the pages blending yellows, brown, green and red over the masks with blending brushes.
I added hand lettered titles with a brown papermate flair pen and some shimmer with a nuvo gold shimmer pen.
When I cut the leaf masks I had both the negative space mask used on the pages above and the leaf itself which I used on the calendar page below.
There is a bit of shimmer on the title letters of October but it doesn’t really show up in the photos. It will make me happy each time I turn to the page. Have a lovely October.
