Coloring the Trashy Junk Mail Journal

I recently made a fun junk journal out of junk mail that was destined for the trash. In this video you can see how I added some color to all those fun junky pages!


Here are some of the products I used:
White Gesso
Golden Heavy Body Acrylic Paint in raw sienna applied with an old gift card
Golden Heavy Body Acrylic Paint in primary magenta, diluted and brushed on as a wash
Homemade spray ink in some kind of blue 
Something sort of purple, may have been another homemade ink
Oil or wax pastels or crayons (I'm not exactly sure) from a kids art kit
Gamsol Odorless Mineral Spirits and an old rag
