Instructions 

The new Dina Wakley MEdia pastel paint colors really pop in the Kraft journal. Let's make a page experimenting with the new colors, plus the rest of the new goodies!

Step 1: Lay the pointy doily stencil onto a page in the Large Kraft journal. Then, with the 1.75" brush, swipe some paint over the stencil in various places. Choose another color, and repeat the process, adding layers to the page. Here, Watery and Lavender were used. 

Step 2: Next, use a neutral color to add some stenciled words to the page. Here, the 1.75" brush was used with White Gesso. 

Step 3: Next, let's make a tag to be the focal point! Swipe some paint across the tag with your brush, then add stenciling using the same method as step 1. Try to use colors that will pop against your page's background. 

Step 4:  Spray Gloss through a stencil onto the tag to add layers and dimension. Here, Cocoa was used.

Step 5: Next, stamp some botanical images onto old book pages or onto pages from the Collage Sparks collection (or both!). Stamp some Circle Furbabies onto cardstock, then cut all the images out.

Step 6: Using a color from your page's background, paint the empty space in the pet circle image. 

Step 7: With Media Glue, adhere the tag to the page, then build up your focal point with the stamped images, collage tissue, and a phrase.
