Step 4: Layer the transparency designs over one another. Which design combo looks pleasing and fun? Here, Sunshine was layered over Pointed. When you find a design you like, staple it to a denim page in your Blue Journal.

Step 5: Spray some chipboard pieces with Gloss Spray. Try not to use the same colors used in your stenciling so that the chipboard pieces pop. Layer some collage tissue under the pieces and attach them to the page with a stapler.
