Page was "sealed" with credit card scrapped white acrylic, it was very smooth. I wrote on the left page and let it dry. I drew the face with my brush pen on the right side. I then added more white paint over the writing, you can see it if you look closely. After that dried I added a bunch of blue watercolor crayon, added some water and gel medium. I smooshed the color all around to get the mottled effect.

I added the die cut around the eye and colored it yellow. I then drew the rays coming out of the eye. The yellow is heaviest closest to the eye and I allowed it to fade as I reached the ends. I then added the red glow with colored pencil and watercolor crayons. It needed something more so I added the dripping stars. I added a small touch of white paint to finish the edges. After everything dried over night I rubbed the whole thing down with a bar of bee's wax so the pages would not stick.
