Hey there, it’s Kate! Today, I’m diving into another journal page adventure with some papers I’ve painted and doodled on, along with a few scraps I’ve collected. I’m all about that collage life today! These pre-painted backgrounds are my go-to, but before I dive in, I like to prep my sketchbook pages with a coat of matte craft paint. It gives them a nice base and prevents any sticking issues down the line. Trust me, it’s a game-changer.
Now, let’s talk about these papers. I’ve got a bunch that I’ve prepped for future journal projects, and they’re just begging to be used. Today, I’m feeling drawn to a colorful bouquet and some loose sketchy circles. So, I’m cutting out my pieces, making sure to keep that sketchy feel intact.
Next up, it’s time to get messy with some gold paint marker. I’m adding some extra flair to my pieces, making them stand out even more against the background. It’s all about those little details that really make a piece come alive.
I’m loving how these pieces are coming together, but I want to add a little something extra. So, I’m breaking out a stencil and adding some leafy accents to the mix.
With everything glued down and looking pretty snazzy, it’s time to add some finishing touches. I’m adding my favorite gold dots and sketchy outlines, giving my page some extra sparkle. And hey, a little white pen never hurt nobody, right? It’s all about experimenting and seeing what works.
Another journal page in the books, made entirely from scratch. No fancy supplies needed, just some good old-fashioned creativity. I hope you enjoyed watching this little art adventure unfold. Until next time, keep creating and never stop experimenting!
