For some reason I’ve been really into circle patterns lately. Not sure why. For my March cover page in my bullet journal I used a circle stencil and I loved the results, see that Instagram post here.
As I was thinking of a design for my weekly layout, I was immediately drawn to more circles. These circles aren’t exactly circles, they are a bit topsy-turvy. But I went with it anyway and got my circle fix!
Check it out.
Supplies
- Notebook
- Ruler
- Stencil
- Distress Inks (Peacock Feathers and Mermaid Lagoon)
- Blending Foam and Tool
- Grey Marker
- Brush Pen
- Drawing Pen
- Alphabet Stamps
- Ink/Stamp Pad
Step One
I started this layout by covering portions of the spread with sticky notes. This served for one purpose only. I wanted 6 unmarked spots for my daily notes.
So, I placed my stencil onto the layout and gently went over the stencil with my ink and application tool. The first color ink I used was Peacock Feathers. I also added some Mermaid Lagoon ink to randomly selected circles just to give the layout a bit more of an ombré effect.
Step Two
After removing the stencil and sticky notes, I drew in six boxes (where the sticky notes were) with my ruler and grey marker, the fine tip side.
Step Three
Next, I lettered the month with my brush pen (black tip) and wrote in the dates with a drawing pen. Just a FYI, the brush pen is a dual brush pen, it has a black tip on one side and a grey tip on the other.
Step Four
For the last part, I stamped the first letter of each day of the week with my alphabet stamps and black ink pad.
