Starry Night Art Journal Video, Part Two

In this video, I'm using collage elements from an old magazine, black electrical tape, yellow and blue masking tape, white adhesive first aid tape, and a tombow mono adhesive roller to create borders and images in my art journal. It's called "Starry Night" because I'm using this color scheme:

as my inspiration. I don't usually work with blues and yellow together, so I decided to challenge myself with a new color scheme.

I'm using the tapes because I've been coveting some Japanese washi tape, but it's pretty expensive, about $4.50 for 10 meters plus shipping. Okay, so it's not that expensive, but if you want lots of colors and patterns, which I do, it adds up. Instead, I went to CVS and Ocean State Job Lot to see what tapes I could find for less money. I ended up spending $4.45 for 4 different tapes: paper tape for sensitive skin, which is rice paper just like washi tape, plus the others above.
