QUICK AND EASY STICKERS - I can't remember where I got the idea, but this technique uses label printer papers for stickers. Just pop the papers into your printer, then print out your journal pages or anything you want on the stickers. The pages come out beautifully and you can easily use the left over area in between the stickers for tabs, accents, etc. LOVE it!

STENCIL TECHNIQUES USING GESSO AND SPRITZES:

Here are some of the page results of my stencil experiments. Remember these were all done indoors in my studio with no odor issues. My goal was to use stencils & paints for experimenting on different kinds of papers. I used Tattered Angels glimmer mists, Smooch Spritz & Adirondack color washes. Please post comments to let me know what you think!




Here is a technique you can use to create beautiful stencils pages without having to use spray paints, mask or go outside.
