Using Stencils to Add Depth

Play Along Journal Series Week 7 Part 1

 
 
 

There’s nothing like a little vintage tape and some scribble magic as I transform a digital download into a perfect background for a journal. To make it blend seamlessly into my journal, I used a glue stick and some decorative tape near the spine. I absolutely love how it turned out, and it's definitely a technique I will be playing with more often.

Having a few things out beforehand really helps me get into the creative mindset and prevents me from getting stuck or spending too much time overthinking. I also used white gesso to blend the collage areas with the background, making it blend together more easily.
