Creating a stunning semi-transparent textured background in my small page journal! 📔 This is absolutely my favorite way of playing with color. I just love how you can still see all the beautiful layers underneath the texture paste! ✨
What color combination would you spray over this background? Let me know below! 👇
⏱️ TIMELINE / PROCESS:
[00:00] - Working in my small page journal

[00:20] - Adding the cute vintage girl focal point
