Pre-painting page backgrounds is a wonderful idea! I love the look of the ink sketches over top. I usually leave the 1st page of a journal blank thinking I will go back and make some grand title page, but often it remains blank! I am going to try your method and put a quote or a few on the 1st page to get over the fear of the blank page. Thank you!

Karen, about the title page...ME TOO! I am chuckling at myself right now.

Yes, glad to see you back! I did something similar, the splashes of watercolor, when I was going to try Inktober a few years ago--I was going to draw leaves every day on top of the watercolor. And I didn't get far into it before bailing! But the idea is a good one!

Yes, a good idea. Ive had many good ideas that I can’t/didn’t follow through with!
