Welcome! This month I’m so excited to share a sneak peak and lots more how-tos on a fun and easy metallic violet theme. This theme has easy-to-doodle flowers, combined in lots of spread styles, with copper metallic accents to liven up the pages! It’s a bit reminiscent of wedding or bridal shower invitations and just the perfect amount of romantic for a month containing Valentine’s Day. 🙂
To get started, let’s look at supplies. This month, I tried to keep things simple. I used 4 colors of Tombow Dual Brush Pens plus a colorless blender pen. The exact set of colors I used were:
228 – Gray Green
249 – Hunter Green
603 – Periwinkle
569 – Jet Blue
N00 – Colorless Blender
If you don’t have the full set of pens, and are looking to start a collection, the Secondary Color Pack has a light and dark green and purple that would work really well with this month’s them. It also includes a blender pen.
Next, I used pens that are waterproof. My favorite of this type are Staedtler Pigment Liner Pens. I used the 0.5 and 0.2 sizes most often for these spreads.
For metallic accents, I’m using a Sakura Gelly Roll Pen in metallic copper. This one can be found in a set of three metallics or 10 fun metallic colors. I love the way these can add sparkle. Word of warning though, as you’re using these, give the page a few seconds to dry before touching or turning pages, the ink goes on thick and can smudge if not completely dry!
For my bullet journal this month, I’m using an Archer & Olive A5 dot grid notebook, but any quality dot grid notebook will work!
For other supplies, I used a basic ruler. My favorite is a simple clear one, so you can see underneath, but here are a few cute ones if you’re in the market!
I also used a Helix Circle and Angle Maker to make neater-than-I-can-freehand circles on various spreads.
That’s it! That’s the full set of supplies used to create a month’s worth of metallic floral bujo spreads in pretty lilac and deep purple tones!
I hope you’ll join along this month so we can create fun spreads together.
