In today’s video, I’m sharing a lovely journal page filled with soft summer colours, delicate layers and lots of texture, but the finished page is only part of the story. I will also show you some simple techniques that you can easily try in your own journals and creative projects.
I experimented with three different ways of creating backgrounds using ordinary masking tape. I will also show you how I created my own PET-style transparent sticker and one of my favourite little tricks: how to remove that unwanted shiny finish using ordinary clear tape.
