All Wrapped Up : A Journal Page

Hello my crafty friends. Welcome to another post. This week I am sharing a journal page with you I did as a guest designer for The Crafty Catz Challenge Blog. I am using an image entitled Cup of Cocoa from their sponsor, Starz Stamps.

Follow along below to see how to make this journal page.

Step 1: Print, cut out and color your image.

Step 2: Draw a rectangular frame on cardstock and cut out.

Step 3: Cut a rectangle out of a piece of Mylar, the same size as the frame. Glue the Mylar on on the cardstock rectangle forming a window. Set aside to dry.

Step 4: Using matte medium, stick down a piece of scrapbook paper in your journal.

Step 5: Scribble on the page with water soluble crayons.

Step 6: Spread around the color with gesso and water. Add some washi tape.

Step 7: Apply some spray ink. If you don’t have any, just dilute acrylic paint and apply.

Step 8: Remove excess in, blending as necessary. Using a stencil, apply a contrasting color.

Step 9: Add some more texture with a rubber stamp.

Step 10: Using a toothbrush, add some splatters of white acrylic to the background. When dry, glue down the girl with matte medium. Add another coat on top and sprinkle with glitter. Allow to dry.
