Have you ever felt intimidated by a blank page in your journal? Or have you ever wondered how to make a journal signature in which all of the pages seem to go together and create a whole? If so - then this video is for you!
Hey Guys!
So happy you could join me today :) In this video we are making some pretty pages for our Pastel Blossoms journal. I am showing you some of my favorite, easy mixed media techniques that you can use to make your journal pages more interesting and colorful.
Without too much effort, we will be adding texture, grunge and color to our blank pages today. Whether you are a beginner in mixed media, or a seasoned art journaler - I believe you will find something inspiring in this video and will learn how to make all the different papers in your junk journals seem like a whole.
In case you are new here (welcome!) and would like to catch up on the journal we are making together from start to finish, here's the link to the whole playlist for you:
