Anything Goes in January at Crafting By Designs

Welcome to the first Crafting By Designs challenge of 2015! As per last year, the first of the month is 'Anything Goes' and I have used an image from Smeared Ink, one of this month's generous sponsors. This is the 'About Time Pocket Watch' and I chose it as I love it but really didn't know what I was going to do with it. However, you know that way when a song gets stuck in your head... well, everytime I looked at the image all I heard were lyrics from Smashing Pumpkins 'Tonight' in my head! So I figured I'd make an Art Journal page with the lyrics and the image! This is a smaller 6x6 page.
My background uses several dylusions sprays, I've stamped across with black Archival ink using a Visible Image barbed wire stamp. The stars were stencilled on using a Dutch Doobadoo Mask and Black Soot DI, highlighted with white Uniball Signo Pigment ink pen. Around the edges, I coloured with black promarker and wrote the lyrics with the Uniball pen.
The image itself is coloured using Rusty Hinge and Crushed Olive DI applied with a blending tool I've used the white pen again to highlight parts of the image too.

I will enter this at Smudgy Antics January Challenge.

Cant wait to see what you come up with for this challenge!
Thanks for looking!
