Journaling with Dina Wakley MEdia by Laura Dame Step 1

Step 1: Using your favorite stencil and the mini ink blending tool, stencil a pattern onto a page of the Small Kraft Journal. Here the colors used are Raspberry, Mustard, and White Gesso.

Step 5: Rip up some collage tissue, and adhere a bunch of it to the page with Ultra Thick Gel Medium. Make sure the pieces look a bit random.

Step 6:  Adhere the tag over the mishmash of collage tissue, leaving most of the collage tissue peeking out from behind the tag. Add some thread to the tag, and then choose a design from the new transparency set to create a focal point. Adhere all with staples and/or Ultra Thick Gel Medium.

Step 7: Find a phrase in the Typed ledger papers and cut out the words. Adhere them to the page to finish up the focal point. Pick one of the colors from the background. With a round brush, add some water to the paint to make a thinner consistency. Then tap the paintbrush with your hand over the page to add splatters.
