Hey there, creative hearts! Isa here, bursting with excitement to share a joyful journal page tutorial featuring the fantastic Pencil Marks 5<\/a> stamp set, the Small Ink Dots<\/a> stencil and a dash of leftovers from some playful previous blog posts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

So, my trusty art journal was showing a bit of wear and tear, but fear not!  I reinforced this page with some homemade washi tape magic, inspired by Susanne\u2019s video on her YouTube channel here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let’s dive into the background! A collage extravaganza made from the papers we created with the Small Ink Dots stencil in my previous blog post – One stencil, two ways for card making with Small Ink Dots and Textured Flowers<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time for embellishments! Shapes of stamped tracing paper, as showcased in my  Mixed Media Art Journal Page With Stamped Tracing Paper<\/a> tutorial, join forces with lively paper scraps, adding layers of texture and character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter the bold red gel-printed paper \u2013 a real showstopper! Stamped with Pencil Marks #5 using Stazon Ink, this creates a dazzling contrast against the greenish backdrop. I love working with 3 of a kind, and this makes no exception! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To soften the edges of the collage, a gentle touch of gesso with my finger does the trick. Darkening the base of the stems with a stamp from the Mix It Up set adds that extra pop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And oh, that upper left corner needed a little love!  A confident line from my Stabilo All pencil, a dash of paint, and the magic touch of another stamp from the Pencil Marks #5 set \u2013 perfection!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P.S.: Did you catch the whimsical scribbles with a black gel pen? Just a fancy little touch because, hey, why not?
I hope this tutorial sets your imagination ablaze! Happy journaling!
Be Bold and Shine!
